[OE-core] [PATCH v6] binutils : enable x86_64-pep for producing EFI binaries on x86-64

Add x86_64-pep emulation support to the set enabled for x86_64 targets
to enable the linker to produce Portable Executables for EFI binaries.

Enables building the x86-64 EFI variant of the Xen hypervisor for
the OpenXT Project.

Changes in v6: added required "Upstream-Status" field to patch header.

Changes in v5: Apply a patch to extend the set of emulations for x86-64,
instead of supplying the "enable-targets" flag via the recipe.

Reasoning: this looks like the least invasive way to add the needed emulation
only when required. It will add the extra support to any builds that have
x86-64 target enabled and not modify others.

binutils uses autoconf and the AC_ARG_ENABLE macro for handling the
"--enable-targets" option to the generated configure script. It doesn't allow
for repeating the parameter with additional arguments to extend the list:
it's a one-shot flag. That seems to be standard practice for autoconf.

binutils source contains config files that map from the target identifiers
to lists of emulations to enable. This patch extends some of those lists.

Tested with x86-64 build to produce Xen EFI.
