libpayload: arm: add code to clear bss

This adds some assembly code to clear .bss segment. It might have been
already cleared by the loader, but it is not guaranteed. This also
helps when the program is loaded by the debugger.

BUG=none
TEST=observed that .bss is now initialized when the program is
     restarted. Verified correct boundaries of the segment.
