kvm: arm64: Partially link nVHE hyp code, simplify HYPCOPY
Relying on objcopy to prefix the ELF section names of the nVHE hyp code is brittle and prevents us from using wildcards to match specific section names. Improve the build rules by partially linking all '.nvhe.o' files and prefixing their ELF section names using a linker script. Continue using objcopy for prefixing ELF symbol names. One immediate advantage of this approach is that all subsections matching a pattern can be merged into a single prefixed section, eg. .text and .text.* can be linked into a single '.hyp.text'. This removes the need for -fno-reorder-functions on GCC and will be useful in the future too: LTO builds use .text subsections, compilers routinely generate .rodata subsections, etc. Partially linking all hyp code into a single object file also makes it easier to analyze.
