Fix the linker scripts to generate three distinct PT_LOAD segments with
correct permissions instead of combining .rodata with .data.

Before this fix, the linker auto-generated only two PT_LOAD segments:
1. Text segment (PF_R|PF_X)
2. Data segment (PF_R|PF_W) - containing .rodata, .data, .bss, etc.

With explicit PHDRS directives, we now generate three segments:
1. text segment (PF_R|PF_X): .text and related code sections
2. rodata segment (PF_R): .rodata and unwind tables
3. data segment (PF_R|PF_W): .data, .bss, and related sections

With this we can setup the MMU properly from outside the ELF binary.
