BaseTools IA32/X64: prevent .eh_frame sections from being generated

After the recent GNU linker script changes, the following warning is
emitted many times during the OVMF build:

BFD: <...>: warning: Empty loadable segment detected, is this intentional ?

This is caused by the fact that, now that the section layout has changed
somewhat, the .eh_frame section is assigned an ELF segment of its own,
which ends up with no contents at all after we strip the .eh_frame
section from the output. (Note that the program headers that contain the
segment information are completely irrelevant to us since the PE/COFF
conversion does not rely on them.)

Since we only retain the .eh_frame data for external debugging, and not
for things like stack unwinding or generating backtraces at runtime, we
can remedy the situation by passing -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables on
the GCC command line. This option instructs the compiler to emit the
unwind data into a debug section called .debug_frame instead of into
.eh_frame.
