    x86/build32: Discard all orphaned sections
    
    Linkers may put orphaned sections ahead of .text, which breaks the calling
    requirements.  A concrete example is Ubuntu's GCC-9 default of enabling
    -fcf-protection which causes us to try and execute .note.gnu.properties 
during
    Xen's boot.
    
    Put .got.plt in its own section as it specifically needs preserving from the
    linkers point of view, and discard everything else.  This will hopefully be
    more robust to other unexpected toolchain properties.
    
    Fixes boot from an Ubuntu build of Xen.
