This series hunts the problems discovered after manual enabling of
ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN. Notably:
 - adds the missing PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA() section affecting VDSO
   placement (marked for stable);
 - properly stops .eh_frame section generation.

Compile and runtime tested on MIPS32R2 CPS board with no issues
using two different toolkits:
 - Binutils 2.35.1, GCC 10.2.0;
 - LLVM stack 11.0.0.

Since v2 [1]:
 - stop discarding .eh_frame and just prevent it from generating
   (Kees);
 - drop redundant sections assertions (Fangrui);
 - place GOT table in .text instead of asserting as it's not empty
   when building with LLVM (Nathan);
 - catch compound literals in generic definitions when building with
   LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION (Kees);
 - collect two Reviewed-bys (Kees).

Since v1 [0]:
 - catch .got entries too as LLD may produce it (Nathan);
 - check for unwanted sections to be zero-sized instead of
   discarding (Fangrui).
