Add embedded PCK option to PC platforms

The basic point is as in 2.1 (appending the PCK into the executable), but this implementation also patches a dedicated section in the ELF/PE executable so that it matches the appended data perfectly.

The usage of integer types is simplified in existing code; namely, using plain `int` for small quantities.
