Automatically set the nxcompat flag in the DLL Characteristics field of
the Optional Header of the PE32+ image. For this flag to be set
automatically, the section alignment must be evenly divisible
by 4K (EFI_PAGE_SIZE) and no section must be executable and writable.
Adds a command line flag to GenFw, --nonxcompat, to ensure the
IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_NX_COMPAT bit is not set, even if all
requirements are met. Updates the manual for GenFw to include the new
flag.

The .rtf files in BaseTools/UserManuals still tell users to Report bugs
to sourceforge mail address. Since we no longer use the sourceforge
mailing lists we should update it.
