Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#25788: guix: patch NSIS to remove .reloc sections from installer stubs
7a0b129c41d9fefdbc20d6d04983dd87bb8379e7 guix: patch NSIS to remove .reloc sections from install stubs (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  With the release of binutils/ld 2.36, ld swapped to much improved
  default settings when producing windows binaries with mingw-w64. One of
  these changes was to stop stripping the .reloc section from binaries,
  which is required for working ASLR.

  When we switched to using a newer Guix time-machine in #23778, we begun
  using binutils 2.37 to produce releases. Since then, our windows
  installer (produced with makensis) has not functioned correctly when run on
  a Windows system with the "Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR)"
  option enabled. Note that all of our other release binaries, which all
  contain .reloc sections, function fine under the same option, so it
  cannot be just the presence of a .reloc section that is the issue.

  The root cause of the problem is that when we compile NSIS (makensis), a number
  of exe installer stubs are produced at the same time, for use later when makensis
  is actually run. Given the new linker defaults, the stubs will contain .reloc sections,
  when previously they would not. It seems that, in combination with how makensis
  mutates the stub when it actually builds the installer, causes the problem.

  According to upstream, https://sourceforge.net/p/nsis/bugs/1131/#abb6:
  > Looks like the problem is the very existance of the .reloc section.
  > It's not supposed to be there, and makensis doesn't handle it.

  The most recent .reloc related upstream activity is in
  https://sourceforge.net/p/nsis/bugs/1283/, where the conclusion again seemed to
  be that .relo sections are not wanted, but there hasn't been any further follow up.

  For now, restore pre-binutils-2.36 behaviour, by passing `-Wl,--disable-reloc-section`
  to the linker when building the installer stubs, which fixes the produced installer.
  The underlying issue can be further investigated in future.

  .reloc section stripping is something we've accounted for previously,
  see #18702, and related upstream discussion is in this thread:
  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19011.

  Fixes #25726.
