kernel: Add defination of .init_array and .fini_array for all other platforms

Currently these sections are not used but defined only for amd64 and
i386. Added them for all other platforms to keep all platforms in sync.
There should be no functional change.

This change is extracted from a bigger patch [1] of hselasky, with
additional fix for the order of .fini_array section.

[PowerPC] kernel ifunc support for powerpc*, fix ppc64 relocation oddities.

This is a general cleanup of the relocatable kernel support on powerpc,
needed to enable kernel ifuncs.

* Fix some relocatable issues in the kernel linker, and change to using
a RELOCATABLE_KERNEL #define instead of #ifdef __powerpc__ for parts that
other platforms can use in the future if they wish to have ET_DYN kernels.

* Get rid of the DB_STOFFS hack now that the kernel is relocated to the DMAP
properly across the board on powerpc64.

* Add powerpc64 and powerpc32 ifunc functionality.

* Allow AIM64 virtual mode OF kernels to run from the DMAP like other AIM64
by implementing a virtual mode restart. This fixes the runtime address on
PowerMac G5.

* Fix symbol relocation problems on post-relocation kernels by relocating
the symbol table.

* Add an undocumented method for supplying kernel symbols on powernv and
other powerpc machines using linux-style kernel/initrd loading -- If
you pass the kernel in as the initrd as well, the copy resident in initrd
will be used as a source for symbols when initializing the debugger.
This method is subject to removal once we have a better way of doing this.

powerpc: Kernel fixes for ppc32 and powerpcspe w/ lld

Fix wrong section ordering that was causing a ".got is not contiguous with
other relro sections" lld error. This also brings ldscript.powerpc and
ldscript.powerpcspe closer to ldscript.powerpc64.

Also, remove unnecessary text relocs from the ppc32 AIM trap code.

remove CONSTRUCTORS from kernel linker scripts

The linker script CONSTRUCTORS keyword is only meaningful "when linking
object file formats which do not support arbitrary sections, such as
ECOFF and XCOFF"[1] and is ignored for other object file formats.

LLVM's lld does not yet accept (and ignore) CONSTRUCTORS, so just remove
CONSTRUCTORS from the linker scripts as it has no effect.

Rename elf*-powerpc into elf*-powerpc-freebsd in binutils

The powerpc support was the only supported architecture not prepending the elf format name
with "-freebsd" in base this change makes it consistent with other architectures.
On newer version of binutils the powerpc format is also prepended with "-freebsd".

Also modify the kernel ldscripts in that regards.

As a result it is now possible cross build the kernel on powerpc using newer binutils

In fact, we don't need any of these __DYNAMIC. it is a.out leftover and commented out.

Avoid hardcoding the kernel link address in the linker script.
Use KERNBASE instead. While here, move the text sections
forward to the beginning of the text segment.

Page align the data segment.

The final commit for the first phase of PowerPC support.

This adds the config stuff needed to build kernels.
