Commit Message

This updates the PE/COFF header to emit the absolute path to the
decompressor vmlinux ELF file into a so-called NB10 Codeview entry.

On DEBUG builds of EDK2 for ARM, this will result in output to be
printed as follows

  add-symbol-file /home/ard/linux-build-arm/arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux 0x43889000

which can be consumed by GDB directly, and load the decompressor
ELF symbols at the correct offset in the UEFI address space. With
both the decompressor and the firmware's ELF symbols loaded, we can
do single step debugging of calls made from the EFI stub into the
firmware and back, which is *really* helpful when debugging the
handover from UEFI to the decompressor.
