The standalone MM core is executed in place, and resides in a separate execution context which may be space constrained. Since code and data may be mapped with different attributes for security reasons, the PE/COFF binary could have a section alignment of 4 KB.
This means that any relocation data is not only useless, but it will also take up 4 KB of valuable space. So add support for the RELOCS_STRIPPED attribute on FFS files of this type, so that we can get rid of the .reloc section altogether. Combined with the FIXED attribute (which enables an optimization in GenFfs that strips redundant padding) and a TE type binary, this gets rid of all the needless padding around the standalone MM core binary.
