This patch creates a new mechanism to define the static memory layout
(primarily in SRAM) for a given board, superseding the brittle mass of
Kconfigs that we were using before. The core part is a memlayout.ld file
in the mainboard directory (although boards are expected to just include
the SoC default in most cases), which is the primary linker script for
all stages (though not rmodules for now). It uses preprocessor macros
from <memlayout.h> to form a different valid linker script for all
stages while looking like a declarative, boilerplate-free map of memory
addresses to the programmer. Linker asserts will automatically guarantee
that the defined regions cannot overlap. Stages are defined with a
maximum size that will be enforced by the linker. The file serves to
both define and document the memory layout, so that the documentation
cannot go missing or out of date.
The mechanism is implemented for all boards in the ARM, ARM64 and MIPS
architectures, and should be extended onto all systems using SRAM in the
future. The CAR/XIP environment on x86 has very different requirements
and the layout is generally not as static, so it will stay like it is
and be unaffected by this patch (save for aligning some symbol names for
consistency and sharing the new common ramstage linker script include).
BUG=None
TEST=Booted normally and in recovery mode, checked suspend/resume and
the CBMEM console on Falco, Blaze (both normal and vboot2), Pinky and
Pit. Compiled Ryu, Storm and Urara, manually compared the disassemblies
with ToT and looked for red flags.

Patch to rename coreboot_ram stage to ramstage. This is done in order to provide

Many of the boot state callbacks can be scheduled at compile time.
Therefore, provide a way for a compilation unit to inform the
boot state machine when its callbacks should be called. Each C
module can export the callbacks and their scheduling requirements
without changing the shared boot flow code.

While debugging a crash it was discovered that ld was inserting
address space for sections that were empty depending on section
address boundaries. This led to the assumption breaking down that
on-disk payload (code/data bits) was contiguous with the address
space. When that assumption breaks down relocation updates change
the wrong memory. Fix this by making the rmodule.ld linker script
put all code/data bits into a payload section.

The x86 linker script added a .textfirst section. In
order to properly link ramstage as a relocatable module
the .textfirst section needs to be included.
Also, the support for code coverage was added by including
the constructor section and symbols. Coverage has not been
tested as I suspect it might not work in a relocatable
environment without some tweaking. However, the section
and symbols are there if needed.

Coreboot's ramstage defines certain sections/symbols in its fixed
static linker script. It uses these sections/symbols for locating the
drivers as well as its own program information. Add these sections
and symbols to the rmodule linker script so that ramstage can be
linked as an rmodule. These sections and symbols are a noop for other
rmodule-linked programs, but they are vital to the ramstage.
Also add a comment in coreboot_ram.ld to mirror any changes made there
to the rmodule linker script.

A rmodule is short for relocation module. Relocaiton modules are
standalone programs. These programs are linked at address 0 as a shared
object with a special linker script that maintains the relocation
entries for the object. These modules can then be embedded as a raw
binary (objcopy -O binary) to be loaded at any location desired.
Initially, the only arch support is for x86. All comments below apply to
x86 specific properties.
The intial user of this support would be for SMM handlers since those
handlers sometimes need to be located at a dynamic address (e.g. TSEG
region).
The relocation entries are currently Elf32_Rel. They are 8 bytes large,
and the entries are not necessarily in sorted order. An future
optimization would be to have a tool convert the unsorted relocations
into just sorted offsets. This would reduce the size of the blob
produced after being processed. Essentialy, 8 bytes per relocation meta
entry would reduce to 4 bytes.
