x86/boot: Split off PE/COFF .data section
Describe the code and data of the decompressor binary using separate .text and .data PE/COFF sections, so that we will be able to map them using restricted permissions once we increase the section and file alignment sufficiently. This avoids the need for memory mappings that are writable and executable at the same time, which is something that is best avoided for security reasons.
