Ard Biesheuvel 64a910f3da BaseTools: AArch64: use explicit linker scripts
Instead of relying on the builtin linker script of GNU ld, which
may vary based on binutils version (which is not tightly coupled to
the GCC version) and linker command line options, introduce a linker
script for AArch64 to be used by all GCC/binutils versions.

The script is laid out such that two ELF sections .text and .data are
created that map onto the PE/COFF with the same names. By aligning
.data to the minimum alignment of .text, and by not adding any
additional padding -which is what LD's builtin linker script does- the
relative offset between .text and .data is retained after the PE/COFF
conversion. This should prevent problems with debuggers and other
tooling that are ELF based.

Also provided is an overlay linker script that increases the alignment
of .text and .data to 64 KB. This is intended for DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER
modules, to make them compatible with the newly introduced
Properties Table feature.
