[RFC PATCH 2/2] efi: arm64: add vmlinux debug link to the Image binary

When building with debugging symbols, take the absolute path to the
vmlinux binary and add it to the special PE/COFF debug table entry.
This allows a debug EFI build to find the vmlinux binary, which is
very helpful in debugging, given that the offset where the Image is
first loaded by EFI is highly unpredictable.
