Add a macro EFI_ENTRYPOINT that we will use to decorate functions that serve as the entry points for EFI modules. This is necessary to work around a limitation in GCC, which may prune such routines from the ELF binary if they are defined with hidden visibility, even if they are explicitly referenced as the entry point on the linker command line.
The hidden visibility is required to inform the compiler that, even though we are building the code in PIE mode, we are only doing so to get code that can run anywhere in the address space without requiring 64-bit wide absolute symbol references, and we are not interested in other things that PIE code typically provides, such as symbol preemptability and a reduced CoW footprint due to the fact that all dynamic relocations target the same area in the binary.
