linker_script: replace common read-only data with RODATA_COMMON
The common section data are repeated in many linker scripts (often twice in each script to support SEPARATE_CODE_AND_RODATA). When you add a new read-only data section, you end up with touching lots of places. After this commit, you will only need to touch bl_common.ld.h when you add a new section to RODATA_COMMON. Replace a series of RO section with RODATA_COMMON, which contains 6 sections, some of which did not exist before. This is not a big deal because unneeded data should not be compiled in the first place. I believe this should be controlled by BL*_SOURCES in Makefiles, not by linker scripts. When I was working on this commit, the BL1 image size increased due to the fconf_populator. Commit c452ba15 ("fconf: exclude fconf_dyn_cfg_getter.c from BL1_SOURCES") fixed this issue. I investigated BL1, BL2, BL2U, BL31 for plat=fvp, and BL2-AT-EL3, BL31, BL31 for plat=uniphier. I did not see any more unexpected code addition.
