Added section base and length symbols to lwlink
Added the ability for a link script to define section base and section
length symbols when linking. These symbols are searched for when an external
reference is resolved before looking up any symbols in the various objects
being linked. Also documented the new link script directives and added such
directives to all default link scripts.
