efi: x86: Set the NX-compatibility flag in the PE header

Browse source

Following Baskov Evgeniy's "Handle UEFI NX-restricted page tables"
patches, it's safe to set this compatibility flag to let loaders know
they don't need to make special accommodations for kernel to load if
pre-boot NX is enabled.
