[ Commit 34951f3c28bdf6481d949a20413b2ce7693687b2 upstream ]

Describe the code and data of the decompressor binary using separate
.text and .data PE/COFF sections, so that we will be able to map them
using restricted permissions once we increase the section and file
alignment sufficiently. This avoids the need for memory mappings that
are writable and executable at the same time, which is something that
is best avoided for security reasons.
