This commit introduce SOC_MEM_NON_CONTIGUOUS_SRAM flag (that enebled for
esp32p4). If SOC_MEM_NON_CONTIGUOUS_SRAM is enabled:
- LDFLAGS+=--enable-non-contiguous-regions
- ldgen.py replaces "arrays[*]" from sections.ld.in with objects under
SURROUND keyword. (e.g. from linker.lf: data -> dram0_data SURROUND(foo))
- "mapping[*]" - refers to all other data
If SOC_MEM_NON_CONTIGUOUS_SRAM, sections.ld.in file should contain at
least one block of code like this (otherwise it does not make sense):
.dram0.bss (NOLOAD) :
{
arrays[dram0_bss]
mapping[dram0_bss]
} > sram_low
.dram1.bss (NOLOAD) :
{
/* do not place here arrays[dram0_bss] because it may be splited
* between segments */
mapping[dram0_bss]
} > sram_high
The commit fixes the case:
If variables in RTC RAM have been moved around by the linker,
they will be filled with garbage data. Any reset other than OTA would work fine
because the variables would still be initialized from the initial bootup.
So now system time will be valid even after OTA.

PMS aware chips require prefetch padding size for instruction fetch, or
some memory alignment considerations. These settings are now exposed
through kconfig options (hidden) and used through common ld template.
This shall help to add and manage future chips support easily for
these considerations.
Closes IDF-3624
