Subject: [PATCH v5 01/27] x86/boot: Align vmlinuz sections on page size

To protect sections on page table level each section needs to be
aligned on page size (4KB).

Set sections alignment in linker script for the kernel decompressor
(boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds.S).

Also introduce symbols that can be used to reference compressed
kernel blob section later in the later patches.
