    Remove some custom sections from RISC-V's default linker scripts
    
    This was added so compressed loads could have smaller offsets for
    accessing the data section, but the result was that writable sections
    ended up in INITIAL_READONLY_SECTIONS.  This is a bad idea.  The fix is
    to just remove this micro-optimization.
    
    Thanks to Alan Morda for finding the problem!
