Use `-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables` and `-fno-exceptions` to avoid creating
`.eh_frame` and `.eh_frame_hdr` sections. They are not used by the snippets and
the creation of the sections may result in the creation of an RWX
segment (depending on the toolchain used).
Before this change:
$ make -j s390x/snippets/c/spec_ex.elf >/dev/null && readelf -l s390x/snippets/c/spec_ex.elf
/usr/bin/s390x-linux-gnu-ld: warning: s390x/snippets/c/spec_ex.elf has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions

After this change, there is no warning and no RWX ELF segment:

Linker used:
$ s390x-linux-gnu-ld -v
GNU ld version 2.41-1.fc40
Therefore the commit 9801dbbe9ea4 ("s390x: Specify program headers with flags to
avoid linker warnings") can be reverted.
---
Note: we have to double check whether__builtin_frame_address() in s390x/stack.c
needs the .eh_frame or not.
