Port the D64906 technique to RISC-V. It deletes 3 alignments at
PT_LOAD boundaries for the default case: the size of a RISC-V binary
decreases by at most 12kb.

If .sdata is absent, linker synthesized __global_pointer$ gets a section index of SHN_ABS.
(ld.bfd has a similar issue: binutils PR24678)
Scrt1.o may use `lla gp, __global_pointer$` to reference the symbol PC
relatively. In -pie/-shared mode, lld complains if a PC relative
relocation references an absolute symbol (SHN_ABS) but ld.bfd doesn't:
ld.lld: error: relocation R_RISCV_PCREL_HI20 cannot refer to lute symbol: __global_pointer$
Let the reference of __global_pointer$ to force creation of .sdata to
fix the problem. This is similar to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, which forces
creation of .got or .got.plt .
Also, change the visibility from STV_HIDDEN to STV_DEFAULT and don't
define the symbol for -shared. This matches ld.bfd, though I don't
understand why it uses STV_DEFAULT.
