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] Fix build-id note on powerpc64 kernel

Due to the ordering of the powerpc64 linker script, we were discarding
all notes before emitting .note.gnu.build-id. This had the effect of
generating an empty build id section and breaking the kern.build_id
sysctl added in r348611.

[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.

Add support for 64-bit PowerPC kernels to be directly loaded by kexec, which
is used as the bootloader on a number of PPC64 platforms. This involves the
following pieces:
- Making the first instruction a valid kernel entry point, since kexec
ignores the ELF entry value. This requires a separate section and linker
magic to prevent the linker from filling the beginning of the section
with stubs.
- Adding an entry point at 0x60 past the first instruction for systems
lacking firmware CPU shutdown support (notably PS3).
- Linker script changes to support the above.

Make __startkernel line up with KERNBASE, so that the math to compute the
applied relocation offset in link_elf.c works as intended. We may want to
revisit how that works in future, for example by having elf_reloc_self()
actually store the numbers it is using rather than computing them later,
but this fixes symbol lookup after r326203.

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
