Jason Zaman f26eb42862 Add paxcheck make lint target
This uses scanelf (from pax-utils) to check for any issues with the
binaries. It currently checks for executable stacks and textrels.
The checks are in a script so can be extended easily in the future for
more checks.

Executable stacks and textrels are frequently caused by issues in asm
files and lead to security and perf problems.
