Recording the top of SEC visible system memory in a global variable is
not necessary, and violates the constraints of the SEC/PEI environment,
given that it may execute from NOR flash. So remove it.

This updates all assembly source files under ArmVirtPkg to mark
exported functions as ASM_FUNC(), which puts them in a separate
section, allowing the linker to prune code that is left unused.
At the same time, clean up the code to get rid of LoadConstantToReg()
instances involving symbol references, each of which emits an absolute
literal, and hence and entry in the PE/COFF .reloc table.

The ArmVirtPkg platforms that use PrePi have no notion of boot remapped
aliases, so we can simply jump to CEntryPoint() directly rather than
via an absolute reference.

Both the ARM and the AARCH64 versions of the PrePi code (shared between
ArmVirtQemuKernel and ArmVirtXen) 'preserve' values across a function
call using registers that are not in fact callee saved. So fix that.

Commit b89919ee8f ("BaseTools AARCH64: override XIP module linker
alignment to 32 bytes") updated the various AARCH64 toolchain definitions
to allow SEC, PEI_CORE and PEIM modules to be built with minimal alignment
requirements even when using the AArch64 small code model which normally
requires 4 KB section alignment.
This involves conversion of ADRP instructions into ADR instructions, which
can only be done reliably if the ELF and the PE/COFF sections appear at
the same offset modulo 4 KB.
The ArmVirtPrePiUniCoreRelocatable linker script did not yet take this
into account, so update it by starting the .text section at the next
appropriately aligned offset PECOFF_HEADER_SIZE bytes into the image.

To accommodate upcoming GCCx toolchain versions that require 'gcc' to
be used as the linker in order to support LTO, switch GCC44 and later
(including CLANG35) to a new DLINK build rule that invokes 'gcc' as the
linker instead of 'ld'. Since gcc expects its command line arguments in
a different format, and expects arguments that it needs to pass to the
linker to be prefixed with '-Wl,', this involves changes to most of the
DLINK_FLAGS definitions in tools_def.template, as well as some changes to
module .INF files that set their own linker options.

Newer versions of ld automatically emit .gnu.hash and .note.gnu.build-id
sections, which are not listed in the linker script, and will end up
breaking the build with an allocation conflict, e.g.,
/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: section .note.gnu.build-id loaded at
[0000000000000000,0000000000000023] overlaps section .text loaded at
[0000000000000000,0000000000017dbf]
Since we don't require or care about these sections, update the linker
script so that they are discarded. Note that this involves emitting the
.note.gnu.build-id section into a non-allocatable segment to prevent the
linker from noticing that it is being discarded (and subsequently
complaining about it)

This adds support to the self relocating PrePi instance that is built
as a PIE ET_DYN executable. It primarily involves porting the relocation
routine to use ELF32 REL entries instead of ELF64 RELA entries which is
what AArch64 uses.

The ArmVirtPrePiUniCoreRelocatable module comes with its own GNU
linker script to create a PIE executable that can relocate itself
at runtime. In order to be able to build this module using CLANG,
we need to adhere to the section alignment passed via to the linker
using -z commmon-page-size, so add this to the linker script.
