   ## Summary
   Set sh_addr for regions that are not allocated. Some relocations might 
depend on this.
   
   The fault in my case occurs when setting CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=y. In this case, 
the .ctor and .dtor sections do not get allocated, but the crt code depends on 
linker defined symbols _sctors/_ectors etc. These generate PC relative 
relocations and thus, the .ctor and .dtor output sections need an output VMA 
even though nothing is there. Otherwise the relocations will point to god knows 
where (in my case to address 0).
   
   The problem results in full system crash later:
   elf_symvalue: Other: 00000000+00000001=00000001
   up_relocateadd: PCREL_HI20 at c00002dc [00000417] to sym=0x80409e80 
st_value=1 _calc_imm: offset=-3221226203: hi=-786432 lo=-731
   up_relocateadd: ERROR: PCREL_HI20 at c00002dc bad:ffffffff40000000 
elf_relocateadd: ERROR: Section 2 reloc 52: Relocation failed: -22
   
   The RISC-V elf64 linker does not like the uninitialized PC relative 
relocation entries, as the relocation offset cannot be reached with with the 
RV64 instruction set.

   ## Impact
   Fix issue with elf loader
   ## Testing
   - rv-virt:knsh64 with CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_EXECUTABLE=n and CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=y
   - Downstream MPFS target with CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=y
