Subject: [PATCH v6 23/29] x86/build: Enforce an empty .got.plt section

The .got.plt section should always be zero (or filled only with the
linker-generated lazy dispatch entry). Enforce this with an assert and
mark the section as INFO. This is more sensitive than just blindly
discarding the section.
