Subject: [PATCH 1/3] scripts/sorttable: Change section type of orc_lookup to SHT_PROGBITS

In order to edit orc_lookup table via sorttable, type of section
orc_lookup needs to be SHT_PROGBITS instead of SHT_NOBITS.

Linker script doesn't seem to allow manual specification of the section
type, so just write a byte into the section instead.
