Due to the use of gperf to generate hash table for kobjects,
the addresses of these kobjects cannot change during the last
few phases of linking (especially between zephyr_prebuilt.elf
and zephyr.elf). Because of this, the gperf generated data
needs to be placed at the end of memory to avoid pushing symbols
around in memory. This prevents moving these generated blocks
to earlier sections, for example, pinned data section needed
for demand paging. So create placeholders for use in
intermediate linking to reserve space for these generated blocks.
Due to uncertainty on the size of these blocks, more space is
being reserved which could result in wasted space. Though, this
retains the use of hash table for faster lookup.

We need to do a few things differently if we are to support
a virtual memory map, i.e. CONFIG_MMU where CONFIG_KERNEL_VM_BASE
is not the same as CONFIG_SRAM_BASE_ADDRESS.
- All sections must be specified with a VMA and LMA, where
VMA is the virtual address and LMA is the physical memory
location.
- All sections must be specified with ALIGN_WITH_INPUT to
keep VMAs and LMAs synchronized
To do this, the existing linker macros need some adjustment:
- GROUP_LINK_IN undefined when CONFIG_KERNEL_VM_BASE is not
the same as CONFIG_SRAM_BASE_ADDRESS.
- New macro GROUP_ROM_LINK_IN for text/rodata sections
- New macro GROUP_NOLOAD_LINK_IN for bss/noinit sections
- Implicit ALIGN_WITH_INPUT for all sections
GROUP_FOLLOWS_AT is unused anywhere in the kernel for years
now and has been removed.

MWDT toolchain adds additional suffix to sections name in case of
ffunction-sections / fdata-sections are enabled.
As proposed by Andy Ross let's pick a single set of rules
and syntax that work.

These stacks are appropriate for threads that run purely in
supervisor mode, and also as stacks for interrupt and exception
handling.
Two new arch defines are introduced:
- ARCH_KERNEL_STACK_GUARD_SIZE
- ARCH_KERNEL_STACK_OBJ_ALIGN
New public declaration macros:
- K_KERNEL_STACK_RESERVED
- K_KERNEL_STACK_EXTERN
- K_KERNEL_STACK_DEFINE
- K_KERNEL_STACK_ARRAY_DEFINE
- K_KERNEL_STACK_MEMBER
- K_KERNEL_STACK_SIZEOF
If user mode is not enabled, K_KERNEL_STACK_* and K_THREAD_STACK_*
are equivalent.
Separately generated privilege elevation stacks are now declared
like kernel stacks, removing the need for K_PRIVILEGE_STACK_ALIGN.

This had been copy-pasted between linker scripts, create
a central header for it.
The linker scripts for xtensa and posix have very different
structure and have been left alone.
