efistub/x86: Remap inittext read-execute when needed
Recent EFI x86 systems are more strict when it comes to mapping boot images, and require that mappings are either read-write or read-execute. Now that the boot code is being cleaned up and refactored, most of it is being moved into .init.text [where it arguably belongs] but that implies that when booting on such strict EFI firmware, we need to take care to map .init.text (and the .altinstr_aux section that follows it) read-execute as well.
