kernel: Add defination of .init_array and .fini_array for all other platforms

Currently these sections are not used but defined only for amd64 and
i386. Added them for all other platforms to keep all platforms in sync.
There should be no functional change.

This change is extracted from a bigger patch [1] of hselasky, with
additional fix for the order of .fini_array section.

kernel: Move the debug stuff into a common script

Move a copy of amd64's debug code into debug.ldscript. Make all the
kernels use this. This has the effect of modernizing the STABS for
powerpc as the others were almost already in sync. For the ones that
weren't this adds the DWARF 3 debug symbols from i386/amd64.

ldscript.powerpc*: Only put .dynamic in PT_DYNAMIC

Currently there are a few output sections left as implicitly using
:kernel :dynamic before :kernel on its own is used again, which means
they end up in both the PT_LOAD and the PT_DYNAMIC segments, an unusual
situation which the new libelf-based kldxref initially treated as
invalid. Thus, hoist the :kernel to the very next section to ensure only
.dynamic is in PT_DYNAMIC, as is more normal.

Whilst here, sync ldscript.powerpc64le with ldscript.powerpc64 to pick
up various fixes that were presumably made between the start of the
powerpc64le port and it being committed and got missed.
