Always define referenced __start_SECNAME/__stop_SECNAME

Currently, linker will define __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME symbols
only for orphaned sections.

However, during garbage collection, ELF linker marks all sections with
references to __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME symbols as used even
when section SECNAME isn't an orphaned section and linker won't define
__start_SECNAME nor __stop_SECNAME.  And ELF linker stores the first
input section whose name matches __start_SECNAME or __stop_SECNAME in
u.undef.section for garbage collection.  If these symbols are provided
in linker script, u.undef.section is set to the section where they will
defined by linker script, which leads to the incorrect output.

This patch changes linker to always define referenced __start_SECNAME and
__stop_SECNAME if the input section name is the same as the output section
name, which is always true for orphaned sections, and SECNAME is a C
identifier.  Also __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME symbols are marked
as hidden by ELF linker so that __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME symbols
for section SECNAME in different modules are unique.  For garbage
collection, ELF linker stores the first matched input section in the
unused vtable field.
