[PATCH] sandbox: cleanup linker scripts and sections

[Ilias Apalodimas]

commit 6e2228fb052b ("Merge patch series "Clean up arm linker scripts"")
was cleaning up linker scripts for armv7 and v8 in a similar fashion.

Several commits in the past -- e.g
commit d0b5d9da5de2 ("arm: make _end compiler-generated")
was moving symbols to be compiler generated. They were defined as c
variables in its own section to force the compiler emit relative a
reference. However, defining those in the linker script will do the
same thing since [0].

So let's remove the special sections from the linker scripts, the
variable definitions from sections.c, and define them as a symbols.
It's worth noting that the linker was discarding the symbols in the
older binary completely.
