    xen: add non-executable stack note uniformly
    
    Currently the -Wa,--noexecstack parameter is only passed to the compiler
    when building assembly files, as the assembler doesn't add such note for
    stack attributes.
    
    However, the default addition of the .note.GNU-stack section is dependent
    on the ELF target used.  Adjust the passing of -Wa,--noexecstack so it's
    added to CFLAGS instead of AFLAGS, and hence such section is also added to
    object files generated from .c sources.  This fixes the complains from the
    linker about missing .note.GNU-stack section when building x86-64 Xen on
    Darwin platforms.
    
    Note we could instead pass `-z noexecstack` to the linker, but that however
    would mask any possible errors or unintended mismatches from previous
    steps.
