Properly add .note.gnu.property section to assembly codes

1. Revert "x86: Generate .note.gnu.property section for ELF output"

This reverts commit 8074e3f, which is
a hack to work around the old nasm which doesn't support

section .note.gnu.property  note  alloc noexec align=8

This hack doesn't work for downstream, like:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2040091

2. If Intel CET is enabled, require nasm with note section support to
add

section .note.gnu.property  note  alloc noexec align=N

to assembly codes.

Verified with

$ CC="gcc -Wl,-z,cet-report=error -fcf-protection" CXX="g++ -Wl,-z,cet-report=error -fcf-protection" .../configure x86_64-linux
    $ make -j8

on Tiger Lake.
