While for our present .data.read_mostly it may be deemed tolerable that
the name is truncated to .data.re, for the planned .init.trampoline an
abbreviation to .init.tr would end up pretty meaningless. Engage the
long section names extension that GNU ld has had support for already in
2.22 (which we consider the baseline release for xen.efi building).

Interestingly builds with debug info actually use long section names by
default, at least with recent ld. Or I'm unaware of where we control
that behavior.
