Similar to zboot architectures, implement support for embedding SBAT data
for x86. Put '.sbat' section in between '.data' and '.text' as the former
also covers '.bss' and '.pgtable' and thus must be the last one in the
file.

The patch was previously sent as part of "[PATCH v3 0/2] efi: Add a
mechanism for embedding SBAT section" series. The main patch has
already made it upstream through Ard's 'efi' tree (see commit 0f9a1739dd0e
"efi: zboot specific mechanism for embedding SBAT section") but x86 part
is still pending. Resending so it doesn't get lost.

I was going to ping again but while working on a (mostly unrelated)
zboot issue:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-efi/20250618122008.264294-1-vkuznets@redhat.com/T/#u
I noticed that in x86 SBAT patch I neglected to update optional PE
header and '.sbat' section is accounted as part of 'SizeOfCode' instead
of 'SizeOfInitializedData'. OVMF doesn't seem to care about the optional
header and I don't really know who does but as the patch is not merged
yet, I think it would be better to fix. The differential change is:
