xtensa: Fix linker script to include .literal sections

Fix resembles implementation from Marc Gauthier and Piet Denaly:

In the Xtensa architecture, assembly generates literals which must always
precede the code (the L32R instruction that loads them only uses negative
PC-relative offsets).  For any *.text section, literals are placed in a
corresponding *.literal section.  The linker script (vmlinux.lds) must
place these in the correct order.  It must also combine them, when the
*.text section can be larger than L32R's 256 kB range.

For example, this doesn't work:  *(.literal) *(.text) because L32R
instructions at the end of .text can't reach the literals.

The linker can solve this if they are combined in parentheses, like this:
       *(.literal .text)
because it is now allowed mix literals in .text to bring them in range.

None of this is done by standard vmlinux.lds.h macros such as TEXT_TEXT
and INIT_TEXT.  To avoid replicating the logic of that header file, we
instead post-process the generated linker script to convert *(xxx.text)
to *(xxx.literal xxx.text) for the following text sections:
       .text .ref.text .*init.text .*exit.text .text.*
using a sed script.  To do this we must override the default rule for
vmlinux.lds (see scripts/Makefile.build and the top-level Makefile)
to insert this extra step.
