build: add __page_aligned_data and __page_aligned_bss



Making a variable page-aligned by using
__attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) is fragile because if
sizeof(variable) is not also a multiple of page size, it leaves
variables in the remainder of the section unaligned.

This patch introduces two new qualifiers, __page_aligned_data and
__page_aligned_bss to set the section *and* the alignment of
variables.  This makes page-aligned variables more robust because the
linker will make sure they're aligned properly.  Unfortunately it
requires *all* page-aligned data to use these macros...
