Currently .vmlinux.info section of uncompressed vmlinux elf image is
included into the data segment and load address specified as 0. That
extends data segment to address 0 and makes "text" and "data" segments
overlap.

Later when vmlinux.bin is produced from vmlinux, .vmlinux.info section
is removed. But elf vmlinux file, even though it is not bootable anymore,
used for debugging and loadable segments overlap should be avoided.
Utilize special ":NONE" phdr specification to avoid adding .vmlinux.info
into loadable data segment. Also set .vmlinux.info section type to INFO,
which allows to get a not-loadable info CONTENTS section.
Since minimal supported version of binutils 2.20 does not have
--dump-section objcopy option, make .vmlinux.info section loadable during
info.bin creation to get actual section contents.
