efi/peimage: Provide an implementation of load_image, start_image, unload_image

The code consumes a PE-COFF image loaded into memory. The functions

* check validity of header
* copy the sections
* relocate the code
* set memory attributes
* invalidate the instruction cache
* execute the image
* return to caller

Caveats:

- We do not always check for over and underflows, but at the
  point we reach this loader, the file has been verified by
  shim already, so this is not much of a concern.
