Avoid creating sections simultaneously writable and readable
to prepare for W^X implementation. Align sections on page size (4KB) to
allow protecting them in the page tables.
Split init code form ".init" segment into separate R_X ".inittext"
segment and make ".init" segment non-executable.
Also add these segments to x86_32 architecture for consistency.
Currently paging is disabled in x86_32 in compressed kernel, so
protection is not applied anyways, but .init code was incorrectly
placed in non-executable ".data" segment. This should not change
anything meaningful in memory layout now, but might be required in case
memory protection will also be implemented in compressed kernel for
x86_32.
