Ard Biesheuvel 233bd25b00 BaseTools GCC: move AutoGen.obj contents to .text section
All AutoGen.obj files consist of global GUID definitions, fixed
and patchable PCDs and other data that is essentially read-only at
runtime but has not been declared as such for various reasons.

By moving these contents to .text we achieve two things:
- global GUIDs and other data items which must be constant for correct
  program operation can no longer be modified, for instance, when
  running a DXE_RUNTIME_MODULE binary under the OS with the Properties
  Table feature for memory protection enabled;
- the .data section becomes smaller, and may be dropped completely for
  many XIP modules, which reduces wasted FV space if the PE/COFF section
  alignment is large.
