x86/EFI: arrange for non-discardable .reloc in xen.efi

Loaders respecting IMAGE_SCN_MEM_DISCARDABLE would not load such sections,
yet we need to access it ourselves when switching out of "physical mode".
Leverage behavior new to GNU ld 2.46: Any contribution to .reloc which
doesn't have the discardable flag set (which cannot even be expressed in
ELF) will yield the output section also non-discardable.

Since for intermediate binaries we don't care about section attributes,
link in the new object only on the final linking pass.
