x86, efi stub: Add .reloc section back into image
 
Some UEFI firmware will not load a .efi with a .reloc section
with a size of 0.

Therefore, we create a .efi image with 4 main areas and 3 sections.
1. PE/COFF file header
2. .setup section (covers all setup code following the first sector)
3. .reloc section (contains 1 dummy reloc entry, created in build.c)
4. .text section (covers the remaining kernel image)

To make room for the new .setup section data, the header
bugger_off_msg had to be shortened.
