==========

The macros allow to pair starts and ends of functions and mark functions
correctly in the output ELF objects.

All users of the old macros in x86 are converted to use these in further
patches.

[v2]
* use SYM_ prefix and sane names
* add SYM_START and SYM_END and parametrize all the macros

[v3]
* add SYM_DATA_SIMPLE, SYM_DATA_SIMPLE_LOCAL, and SYM_DATA_END_LABEL

[v4]
* add _NOALIGN versions of some macros
* add _CODE_ derivates of _FUNC_ macros
