Cleanup and preparation commit for linker script generator.
Zephyr linker scripts provides start and end symbols for each larger
areas in the linker script.
The symbols _image_rom_start and _image_rom_end corresponds to the group
ROMABLE_REGION defined in the ld linker scripts.
The symbols _image_rodata_start and _image_rodata_end is not placed as
independent group but covers common-rom.ld, thread-local-storage.ld,
kobject-rom.ld and snippets-rodata.ld.
This commit align those names and prepares for generation of groups in
linker scripts.
The symbols describing the ROMABLE_REGION will be renamed to:
_image_rom_start -> __rom_region_start
_image_rom_end -> __rom_region_end
The rodata will also use the group symbol notation as:
_image_rodata_start -> __rodata_region_start
_image_rodata_end -> __rodata_region_end

This enables qemu_x86_tiny to be used for more general demand
paging testing where non-pinned code and data is not available
in physical memory at boot. This adds a custom linker script to
qemu_x86_tiny for pinning code and data. In the process, a new
kconfig CONFIG_BOARD_QEMU_X86_TINY has to be introduced to
distinguish from other qemu_x86* boards. This linker script
is based on the generic x86-32 one in
include/arch/x86/ia32/linker.ld, with additions to
put symbols into boot and pinned sections.
