This extends the --gc-sections behaviour to the many assembler
support functions in the firmware images by placing each function
into its own code section. This is achieved by creating a 'func'
macro used to declare each function label.

Ctags seem to have a problem with generating tags for assembler symbols
when a comment immediately follows an assembly label.
This patch inserts a single space character between the label
definition and the following comments to help ctags.
The patch is generated by the command:
git ls-files -- \*.S | xargs sed -i 's/^\([^:]\+\):;/\1: ;/1'

- Check at link-time that bootloader images will fit in memory
at run time and that they won't overlap each other.
- Remove text and rodata orphan sections.
- Define new linker symbols to remove the need for platform setup
code to know the order of sections.
- Reduce the size of the raw binary images by cutting some sections
out of the disk image and allocating them at load time, whenever
possible.
- Rework alignment constraints on sections.
- Remove unused linker symbols.
- Homogenize linker symbols names across all BLs.
- Add some comments in the linker scripts.
