soc: it8xxx2: linker: Move zephyr library to RAM to enhance performance

Browse source 
Place zephyr library in ILM. This can improve performance.

test:
Print the message 10000 times with 1ms sleep interval to compare the
time difference before and after adding RAM code on the it82002bw evb.

                         RAM code size     save time
original:                1954 bytes
libzephyr.a:            +16974 bytes      -608ms
