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.

By including the heap in the bss output section the size is accounted
for in a elf PT_LOAD segment. Without this change the heap wasn't being
put into a PT_LOAD segment. The result is a nop w.r.t. functionality,
but readelf and company will have proper MemSiz fields.

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.
