`post-process-pe` should be installed by default #548

In order to make more of the ecosystem of EFI applications that shim can chainload be marked as supporting NX I think it's worth changing post-process-pe to be installed into the filesystem.

Distro packagers can then put into a package that uses as a build dependency for things like GRUB or fwupd-efi. Alternatively, it's going to mean all the downstream projects will need to manually modify the headers as part of their build process to indicate NX compatibility.

Never mind, I discovered genpeimage has this. Users should use that during build process.
