LLD 13 and GNU ld 2.37 support -z start-stop-gc which allows garbage
collection of C identifier name sections despite the __start_/__stop_
references. GNU ld before 2015-10 had the behavior as well. Simply set
the retain attribute so that GCC 11 (if configure-time binutils is 2.36
or newer)/Clang 13 will set the SHF_GNU_RETAIN section attribute to
prevent garbage collection.
Without the patch, there are linker errors with -z start-stop-gc
(LLD default) when -Wl,--gc-sections is used:
```
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __start___eap
>>> referenced by eap.c
>>> src/eap.o:(eap_init)
```
The remain attribute will not be needed if the metadata sections are
referenced by code directly.
