nativeGen: Explicitly set flags of text sections on Windows
The binutils documentation (for COFF) claims, > If no flags are specified, the default flags depend upon the section > name. If the section name is not recognized, the default will be for the > section to be loaded and writable. We previously assumed that this would do the right thing for split sections (e.g. a section named `.text$foo` would be correctly inferred to be a text section). However, we have observed that this is not the case (at least under the clang toolchain used on Windows): when split-sections is enabled, text sections are treated by the assembler as data (matching the "default" behavior specified by the documentation). Avoid this by setting section flags explicitly. This should fix split sections on Windows. Fixes #22834.
