[PATCH v2 2/2] arm64: efi: 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.

These entries are used internally by EDK2 based* debug builds of UEFI
to populate the DebugImageInfo table, which can be used by debuggers
as well as by the OS itself to retrieve information about all loaded
PE/COFF executables. This is highly useful for source level debugging
of the UEFI stub.

* for AArch64, this probably means all of them
