Subject: [PATCH 6/8] selftests/sgx: Ensure expected enclave data buffer size and placement

Ensure the compiler respects the size and placement of encl_buffer as
expected by the external tests manipulating page permissions:

1. Declare encl_buffer as global, in order to ensure that it is not
   optimized away by the compiler, even when not used entirely by the test
   enclave code.

2. Place encl_buffer in a separate section that is explicitly placed
   at the start of the .data segment in the linker script to avoid the
   compiler placing it somewhere else in .data.
