REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1999
When PE loader loads image to memory, the first section of image may
not locate right next to the image header, which causes some memory
space remaining uninitialized. This is a security issue.
This patch compares the ending address of image header and the beginning
address of the first section. If there is a gap, zero out this gap.
