For NX the GRUB binary has 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.
