arm/realview_pbx_a9_qemu: Add per-section compilation and linking support

updates #2577.

NOTE: In contrast to other BSPs, this was built with SMP enabled to
      ensure the _smp variant was built properly.

For the realview_pbx_a9_qemu BSP variant without this option,
sample executable sizes were as follows:

   text	   data	    bss	    	  dec	    	  hex	filename
 129776	   1692	267238996	267370464	fefbfe0	ticker.exe
  92729	   1452	267276272	267370453	fefbfd5	minimum.exe
