lib/program.ld: Make (NOLOAD) and to_load more explicit

Browse Source 
(NOLOAD) indicates that the section occupies no space in the file, but
does take up space in memory during process execution. It's typically
used for bss sections which contain uninitialized global/static
variables.

to_load makes sure the section is part of the program headers. This is
needed for instance with relocatable stages to know how much memory the
program will use.

Although the BFD linker makes some good guesses making this a NOOP,
other linkers like LLD need to mark these sections more explicitly.
