boot/arm-trusted-firmware: fix build issue with binutils 2.39+

The new version of binutils introduces a new warning when linking. The
new warninng is enabled by default. To fix the issue this warning is
disabled by adding the patches to the arm-trusted-firmware package
v{2.2..2.8}. This is a backport of an upstream commit [1]

Since there are too many defconfigs that use the arm-trusted-firmware
package, it is not practical to create a global-patch-dir for all of them.
Therefore the patches are only in the package directory.

+Users of GNU ld (BPF) from binutils 2.39+ will observe multiple instaces

+  ld.bfd: warning: stm32mp1_helper.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack

+  ld.bfd: warning: bl2.elf has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
+  ld.bfd: warning: bl32.elf has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
+
+These new warnings are enbaled by default to secure elf binaries:

+
+Following the reasoning there, we set "-z noexecstack" for all linkers

+Fix it in a similar way to what the Linux kernel does, see:
+https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220810222442.2296651-1-ndesaulniers@google.com/
+
+Following the reasoning there, we set "-z noexecstack" for all linkers
+(although LLVM's LLD defaults to it) and optional add
+--no-warn-rwx-segments since this a ld.bfd related.
