Commit 3ebd1cbc introduced compiler-generated __bss_start
and __bss_end__ and commit c23561e7 rewrote all __bss_end__
as __bss_end. Their merge caused silent and harmless but
potentially bug-inducing clashes between compiler- and linker-
generated __bss_end symbols.
Make __bss_end and __bss_start compiler-only, and create
__bss_base and __bss_limit for linker-only use.

Use __image_copy_end instead of __bss_start for the end of the image to
relocate. This is the same as commit 033ca72, but applied to all ARM start.S.
This is a more appropriate symbol naming for an image copy & relocate feature,
and this also saves a useless copy of data put between __image_copy_end and
__bss_start in linker scripts (e.g. relocation information, or MMU
initialization tables used only before jumping to the relocated image).

Albert's rework of the linker scripts conflicted with Simon's making
everyone use __bss_end. We also had a minor conflict over
README.scrapyard being added to in mainline and enhanced in
u-boot-arm/master with proper formatting.

Note this is a tree-wide change affecting multiple architectures.
At present we use __bss_start, but mostly __bss_end__. This seems
inconsistent and in a number of places __bss_end is used instead.
Change to use __bss_end for the BSS end symbol throughout U-Boot. This
makes it possible to use the asm-generic/sections.h file on all
archs.

Refactor linker-generated array code so that symbols
which were previously linker-generated are now compiler-
generated. This causes relocation records of type
R_ARM_ABS32 to become R_ARM_RELATIVE, which makes
code which uses LGA able to run before relocation as
well as after.
Note: this affects more than ARM targets, as linker-
lists span possibly all target architectures, notably
PowerPC.

Turn __bss_start and __bss_end__ from linker-generated
to compiler-generated symbols, causing relocations for
these symbols to change type, from R_ARM_ABS32 to
R_ARM_RELATIVE.
This should have no functional impact, as it affects
references to __bss_start and __bss_end__ only before
relocation, and no such references are done.

The command declaration now uses the new LG-array method to generate
list of commands. Thus the __u_boot_cmd section is now superseded and
redundant and therefore can be removed. Also, remove externed symbols
associated with this section from include/command.h .

Add section for the linker-generated lists into all possible linker
files, so that everyone can easily use these lists. This is mostly
a mechanical adjustment.

Monitor protection region in FLASH did not cover .rel.dyn
and .dynsym sections, because it uses __bss_start to compute
monitor_flash_len. Use _end instead.
Add _end to linker scripts for end of u-boot image
Add _end_ofs to all the start.S.

Currently, _end is used for end of BSS section. We want _end to mean
end of u-boot image, so we rename _end to __bss_end__ first.
