[U-Boot] [PATCH 06/22] arm: new labels in the linker script file

_bss_start_ofs is used in start.S to indicate end of copied
image. This may not be correct when we have a discontiguous
memory map. For instance, .bss may be placed in SDRAM for
some SPLS while rest of the image is placed in SRAM.
Define a new label in linker script to indicate the end of the
image copied during relocation and use it appropriately in
start.S.
Also, add a new label to indicate the end of flash image.
This will be useful in identifying the size of flash image
