R_ARM_REL32 are relative relocations, so we don't need to do anything
special when performing the ELF to PE/COFF conversion, since our memory
layout is identical between the two binary formats. So just allow them.

Disable the RVCT size optimization that may put sections at an offset
that is not aligned to their own alignment, by adding the --no_legacyalign
switch to the RVCT linker command line. This is necessary since such sections
cannot be correctly converted into PE/COFF sections without padding them at
the front, which defeats the purpose of the optimization anyway.
With the optimization gone, we can also remove the special case for ARM in
GenFw that could result in corrupt PE/COFF images to be emitted. Instead,
sections whose base address is not aligned correctly are outright rejected.

SVN commit r18077 ("BaseTools/GenFw: move .debug contents to .data to
save space") removed the separate .debug section after moving its
contents into .text or .data. However, this change does not take into
account that some of these contents need to appear at a 32-bit aligned
offset. So align the debug data RVA to 32 bits.

The secondary header (not the DOS header) of a PE/COFF binary
does not reside at a fixed offset. Instead, its offset into the
file is recorded in the DOS header.
This gives us the flexibility to move it, along with the section
headers, to right before the first section if there is considerable
space before it, i.e., when the PE/COFF file alignment is substantially
larger than the size of the header.
Since the PE/COFF to TE conversion replaces everything before the
section headers with a simple TE header, this change removes all
the header padding from such images, leading to smaller files.

In order to reduce the memory footprint of PE/COFF images when
using large values for the PE/COFF section alignment, move the
contents of the .debug section to data, and point the debug data
directory entry to it. This allows us to drop the .debug section
entirely, as well as any associated rounding. Since our .debug
section only contains the filename of the ELF input image, the
penalty of keeping this data in a non-discardable section is
negligible.
Note that the PE/COFF spec v6.3 explicitly mentions that this is
allowed.
