[PATCH v5 20/36] arm64/build: Assert for unwanted sections

[Kees Cook]

In preparation for warning on orphan sections, discard
unwanted non-zero-sized generated sections, and enforce other
expected-to-be-zero-sized sections (since discarding them might hide
problems with them suddenly gaining unexpected entries).
