50149ea37a efi_loader: Add runtime services
After booting has finished, EFI allows firmware to still interact with the OS
using the "runtime services". These callbacks live in a separate address space,
since they are available long after U-Boot has been overwritten by the OS.

This patch adds enough framework for arbitrary code inside of U-Boot to become
a runtime service with the right section attributes set. For now, we don't make
use of it yet though.

We could maybe in the future map U-boot environment variables to EFI variables
here.

bf433afd60 ARM: HYP/non-sec: add separate section for secure code
In anticipation of refactoring the HYP/non-secure code to run
from secure RAM, add a new linker section that will contain that
code.

Nothing is using it just yet.

d0b5d9da5d arm: make _end compiler-generated
This prevents references to _end from generating absolute
relocation records.

This change is binary invariant for ARM targets.

47bd65ef05 arm: make __rel_dyn_{start, end} compiler-generated
This change is only done where needed: some linker
scripts may contain relocation symbols yet remain
unchanged.

__rel_dyn_start and __rel_dyn_end each requires
its own output section; putting them in relocation
sections changes their flags and breaks relocation.

d026dec875 arm: make __image_copy_{start, end} compiler-generated
This change is only done where needed: some linker
scripts may contain __image_copy_{start,end} yet
remain unchanged.

Also, __image_copy_end needs its own section; putting
it in relocation sections changes their flags and makes
relocation break.

df84502edf arm: generalize lib/bss.c into lib/sections.c
File arch/arm/lib/bss.c was initially defined for BSS only,
but is now going to also contain definitions for other
section-boundary-related symbols, so rename it for better
accuracy.

Also, remove useless 'used' attributes.
