[Joey Vagedes via groups.io]

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4487

v2: Adds --nonxcompat flag to GenFw; updates man page
v2: Updates PeImage.h to reference spec 9.3 rather then 8.3

Utilize GenFw to automatically set the NXCOMPAT bit of the DLL Characteristics
field of the Optional Header if the following requirements are met:

1. It is a 64bit PE
2. The section alignment is evently divisible by 4K
3. No section is both EFI_IMAGE_SCN_MEM_EXECUTE and EFI_IMAGE_SCN_MEM_WRITE
