The older linker treats .note.gnu.property section as a generic note
and just concatenates all .note.gnu.property sections from the input
to the output. On CET-enabled OS, the output of the older linker is
marked as CET enabled, but in fact, it is not CET enabled and it crashes
on CET-enabled machines.
This patch defines GNU_PROPERTY_X86_UINT32_VALID. Linker is updated to
set the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_UINT32_VALID bit in GNU property note for
non-relocatable output to differentiate outputs from the older linker.
