x86: allow @size to also (sensibly) apply to sections

So far this (counter-intuitively) produced the size as recorded in the
(section) symbol. Obtain the section's size instead for section symbols.
(I wonder whether STT_SECTION symbols couldn't properly hold the
section's size in their st_size field, which in turn would likely mean
the internal symbol would also have its size properly updated.)

Note that this is not the same as the .sizeof.() pseudo-operator: @size
yields the local file's contribution to a section, while .sizeof.() gets
resolved by the linker to produce the final full section's size.

As to the 3rd each of the expected output lines in the changed testcase:
I can't find justification for zzz to come after yyy despite them being
defined in the opposite order in source. Therefore I think it's better
to permit both possible outcomes.
