[PATCH v3 1/1] sandbox: eliminate unused functions from binaries

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

The sandbox should closely mimic other architectures.

Place each function or data in a separate section and let the linker
eliminate unused ones. This will reduce the binary size.

In the linker script mark that u_boot_sandbox_getopt are to be kept.

v3:
	avoid duplicate -Wl,--gc-sections
	only use KEEP for unreferenced symbols
v2:
	mark _u_boot_sandbox_getopt sections as KEEP()
