score: Place object controls into .noinit sections

Place the statically allocated object control blocks, local tables, and thread
queue heads into the dedicated .noinit intput sections.  The output section is
not zero initialized.  Placing these elements into the .noinit section reduces
the system initialization time by decreasing the .bss section size.

It may improve the cache efficiency since the mostly read local tables are
placed in a contiguous memory area.

Update #4678.
