Currently coreboot expects the loader to clear the bss section
for all stages. i.e. stages don't clear their own bss. On ARM
SoCs the BootROM would be responsible for this. To do that
one needs to include the bss section data (all zeros) in the
bootblock.bin file. This was previously being attempted by
keeping the .bss info in the .data section because objcopy
happened zero out non-file allocated data section data.
Instead go back to linking bootblock with the bss section
but mark the bss section as loadable allocatable data. That
way it will be included in the binary properly when objcopy
-O binary is emplyed. Also do the same for the data section
in the case of no non-zero object values are in the data
section.
Without this change the trick of including .bss in .data
was not working when there wasn't a non-zero value object
in the data section.
BUG=None
BRANCH=None
TEST=Built emulation/qemu-armv7 and noted bootblock.bin contains
the cleared bss.

Patch b2a62622b (linking: move romstage and bootblock to use program.ld)
unified the linker scripts between different stages. Unfortunately it
omitted several special cases from the old bootblock.ld script that are
required for non-x86 environments.
This patch expands program.ld to once again merge the .BSS into the
program image for bootblocks (ensuring correct initialization by the
external loader). It also revives the .id section (which adds a
human-readable blurb of information to the top of an image) and fixes a
problem with unintended automated section alignment.

Previously there were 2 paths in linking ramstage. One was used for
RELOCATABLE_RAMSTAGE while the other was fixed location. Now that
rmodtool can handle multiple secitons for a single proram segment
there's no need for linking ramstage using lib/rmodule.ld. That
also means true rmodules don't have symbols required for ramstage
purposes so fix memlayout.h. Lastly add default rules for creating
rmod files from the known file names and locations.

Bring rmodule linking into the common linking method.
The __rmodule_entry symbol was removed while using
a more common _start symbol. The rmodtool will honor
the entry point found within the ELF header. Add
ENV_RMODULE so that one can distinguish the environment
when generating linker scripts for rmodules. Lastly,
directly use program.ld for the rmodule.ld linker script.

All the other architectures are using the memlayout
for linking romstage. Use that same method on x86
as well for consistency.

Though coreboot started as x86 only, the current approach to x86
linking is out of the norm with respect to other architectures.
To start alleviating that the way ramstage is linked is partially
unified. A new file, program.ld, was added to provide a common way
to link stages by deferring to per-stage architectural overrides.
The previous ramstage.ld is no longer required.
Note that this change doesn't handle RELOCATABLE_RAMSTAGE
because that is handled by rmodule.ld. Future convergence
can be achieved, but for the time being that's being left out.
