compiler: add function and global section pragmas
This patch adds a new pragma for functions and globals to set the
section name. This can be useful to place a function or global in a
special device specific section, for example:
* Functions may be placed in RAM to make them run faster, or in flash
(if RAM is the default) to not let them take up RAM.
* DMA memory may only be placed in a special memory area.
* Some RAM may be faster than other RAM, and some globals may be
performance critical thus placing them in this special RAM area can
help.
* Some (large) global variables may need to be placed in external RAM,
which can be done by placing them in a special section.
To use it, you have to place a function or global in a special section,
for example:
//go:section .externalram
var externalRAMBuffer [1024]byte
This can then be placed in a special section of the linker script, for
example something like this:
.bss.extram (NOLOAD) : {
*(.externalram)
} > ERAM
