Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/6] linkage: add SYM_{ENTRY,START,END}_AT()

Currently, the SYM_{ENTRY,START,END}() helpers define symbols in terms
of the current position within the section. In subsequent patches we'll
need to define symbols after moving this position.

This patch splits the core out of SYM_{ENTRY,START,END}() into
SYM_{ENTRY,START,END}_AT() macros which take a location argument,
with SYM_{ENTRY,START,END}() passing the current position.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

TODO:

* Handle tools/ copy
