v12.0.0

What's Changed

• Temporarily disable setting read-only sections @makubacki (#378)
  
  Change Details

    ## Description

  Commit 30fa804 made sections in a PE/COFF image that are not writable but readable to have the read-only attribute set. While this has successfully booted to Windows on QEMU and no issues have been encountered in UEFI images, it does fail on physical Intel platforms, at least in some cases.

  That is being tracked in:
  #365

  To allow physical platforms to release the code is temporarily commented. It is left in the codebase as a reminder that it should be followed up on after the issue is closed.
