Marc Hartmayer 6097ee3f9d genprotimg/boot: Makefile: simplify objcopy command
Instead of maintaining an include list, use an exclude list (if
neccessary). This simplifies the `objcopy` calls a lot, and it's
possible because `objcopy -O binary` only includes the memory dump of
the contents of the input object file. [1] This means that sections like
for debug information that do not occupy memory during the process
execution are discarded by design. [2]

In addition, if we do not want a particular ELF section, we can list it
in the discard section of the linker script.
