Normally, `gcc` takes care of adding the `GNU_STACK` marking except for
assembly code. Therefore, let's add the marking manually. Discard the
`.note.GNU-stack` section in the linker script since it's just a
"message" from the compiler to the linker. This fixes the linker
warning:
ld: warning: entry.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack

The ELF section `.eh_frame` is used for frame unwinding during, for
example, exception handling and the section `.interp` is used by the
program interpreter. [1] Since no frame unwinding nor a program
interpreter is used for the bootloaders we can discard these input
section.
The content of the (exec|bin) files don't change after this change.

Use C pre-processor for linker script generation and refactor some
constants. This allows the usage of the constants in our "linker
scripts" `*.lds.S` (actually, these are assembler files, so we can
make us of the C pre-processor and its capabilities).
While at it, enforce the described memory layout in the generated
linker script.
