Instead of hardcoding the values for the PE/COFF header size and the
section alignment, set them on the linker command line. This factors
out these values from the various linker scripts, which will allow us
to unify them in a subsequent patch.

Move the .got contents to the PE/COFF .text section. This should be
a no-op, since we typically don't generate position independent code
(i.e., using -fPIC). But since the GOT contains variable addresses that
are updated at relocation time only, its contents are best kept in .text
to prevent them from being overwritten inadvertently.

The .rodata ELF section contains constant non-executable data that
should never be modified by the program itself. Since the risk of
inadvertent modification is typically higher than the risk of
inadvertent execution, it makes sense to put this data in the
R-X .text section rather than in the RW- .data section.
So move it there.

The NOP padding in the GCC linker scripts ensures that all empty
regions in the ELF binary are filled with x86 NOP instructions.
There is no upside to doing this: if the CPU ends up executing these
instructions, we have little hope of resuming normal execution of the
program anyway. And having NOP slides in memory only makes it easier
for attackers to launch exploits. So remove them.
