Subject: [PATCH] bloat-o-meter: Include read-only data section in report

I'm not sure why the read-only data section is excluded from the
report, it seems as relevant as the other data sections (b and d).

I've stripped the symbols starting with __mod_ as they can have their
names dynamically generated and thus comparison between binaries is
not possible.
