This ports built-in firmware to use linker tables,
this replaces the custom section solution with a
generic solution.

This also demos the use of the .rodata (SECTION_RO)
linker tables.

Tested with 0 built-in firmware, 1 and 2 built-in
firmwares successfully.
I think we'd do better to rip this support out entirely. It just isn't
needed; firmware can live in an initramfs and don't even need *any*
actual running userspace support to load it from there these days, do
we?
