linker, assembler: Avoid intermediate bytevectors.

This reduces the amount of memory used during linking and reduces the
number of copies to be done between bytevectors.

* module/system/vm/linker.scm (<linker-object>): Remove 'bv' field and
add 'size' and 'writer'.
(make-linker-object): Adjust accordingly.
(string-table-size): New procedure.
(link-string-table!): Remove.
(string-table-writer): New procedure.
(allocate-segment): Adjust 'make-linker-object' call.
(find-shstrndx): Call the 'linker-object-writer' of O.
(add-elf-objects): Adjust 'make-linker-object' call.  Remove
'make-bytevector' allocations and move serialization to lazy 'writer'
procedures.  Define 'segments' and 'add-header-segment!'.  Return the
latter as the first value.
* module/system/vm/assembler.scm (make-object): Remove 'bv' parameter
and add 'size' and 'writer'.
(link-data): Remove 'make-bytevector' call and move serialization to
a lazy 'writer' procedure.
(link-text-object): Likewise.
(link-frame-maps): Likewise.
(link-dynamic-section): Likewise.
(link-shstrtab): Likewise.
(link-symtab): Likewise.
(link-arities): Likewise, and remove 'bytevector-append'.
(link-docstrs): Likewise.
(link-procprops): Likewise.
(link-debug): Likewise, and define 'copy-writer'.
* test-suite/tests/linker.test (link-elf-with-one-main-section): Adjust
accordingly.
