core/cortex-m: Support prevent chip memory region from GC.
We would like to keep a symbol in a chip memory region from GC in link
time. However __attribute__((used)) cannot fulfill the requirement in such
situation. This CL adds a "name.keep" section to prevent all the symbols
in this section in a chip memory region from GC. Also, we would like to
support a non-NOLOAD section, which can load default value on runtime.
