cmake: Remove check_link_map.py

Browse source 
This script is looking for a hyperspecific error (mismatched padding
when linking into two simultaneous output sections) that bit us once,
in an era where the linker scripts were less unified.  We haven't seen
it crop up since, and multiple platforms have changed the way they do
this anyway.

It's needless complexity.  Junk it.

# Linker address generation validity checker. By default, GNU ld is
# broken when faced with sections where the load address (i.e. the
# spot in the XIP program binary where initialized data lives) differs
# from the virtual address (i.e. the location in RAM where that data
# will live at runtime. We need to be sure we're using the
# ALIGN_WITH_INPUT feature correctly everywhere, which is hard --
# especially so given that many of these bugs are semi-invisible at
# runtime (most initialized data is still a bunch of zeros and often
# "works" even if it's wrong).
#
# This quick test just checks the offsets between sequential segments
# with separate VMA/LMA addresses and verifies that the size deltas
# are identical.
#
# Note that this is assuming that the address generation is always
# in-order and that there is only one "ROM" LMA block. It's possible
# to write a valid linker script that will fail this script, but we
# don't have such a use case and one isn't forseen.
