Our use of --gc-sections causes the linker to discard the symbols
defined by FILE_LICENCE(), meaning that the resulting licence
determination is incomplete.

We must use the KEEP() directive in the linker script to force the
linker to not discard the licence symbols.  Using KEEP(*(COMMON))
would be undesirable, since there are some symbols in COMMON which we
may wish to discard.

Fix by placing symbols defined by PROVIDE_SYMBOL() (which is used by
FILE_LICENCE()) into a special ".provided" section, which we then mark
with KEEP().  All such symbols are zero-length, so there is no cost in
terms of the final binary size.

Since the symbols are no longer in COMMON, the linker will reject
symbols with the same name coming from multiple objects.  We therefore
append the object name to the licence symbol, to ensure that it is
unique.

Make the allocators used by malloc and linux_umalloc valgrindable.
Include valgrind headers in the codebase to avoid a build dependency
on valgrind.

Some binutils versions will drag in an object to satisfy the entry
symbol; some won't.  Try to cope with this exciting variety of
behaviour by ensuring that all entry symbols are unique.

Remove the explicit inclusion of the prefix object on the linker
command line, since the entry symbol now provides all the information
needed to identify the prefix.

Use -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and --gc-sections to
automatically prune out any unreferenced sections.

This saves around 744 bytes (uncompressed) from the rtl8139.rom build.
