Subject: [PATCH 07/10] nx: set the nx compatible flag in EFI grub images

For NX, we need the grub binary to announce that it is compatible with
the NX feature.  This implies that when loading the executable grub
image, several attributes are true:

- the binary doesn't need an executable stack
- the binary doesn't need sections to be both executable and writable
- the binary knows how to use the EFI Memory Attributes protocol on code
  it is loading.

This patch
- adds a definition for the PE DLL Characteristics flag GRUB_PE32_NX_COMPAT
- changes grub-mkimage to set that flag.
