Subject: [PATCH v3 7/9] selftests/sgx: Ensure expected location of test enclave buffer

The external tests manipulating page permissions expect encl_buffer to be
placed at the start of the test enclave's .data section. As this is not
guaranteed per the C standard, explicitly 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.
