Subject: [PATCH] feat(build): add support for new binutils versions
Users of GNU ld (BPF) from binutils 2.39+ will observe multiple instaces
of a new warning when linking the bl*.elf in the form:
ld.bfd: warning: stm32mp1_helper.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
ld.bfd: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
ld.bfd: warning: bl2.elf has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
ld.bfd: warning: bl32.elf has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
These new warnings are enbaled by default to secure elf binaries:

- https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=0d38576a34ec64a1b4500c9277a8e9d0f07e6774
Fix it in a similar way to what the Linux kernel does, see:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220810222442.2296651-1-ndesaulniers@google.com/
Following the reasoning there, we set "-z noexecstack" for all linkers
(although LLVM's LLD defaults to it) and optional add
--no-warn-rwx-segments since this a ld.bfd related.
