Move building of fast lookup table from boot to sorttable tool. This saves us 6380us boot time on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2682 v4 @ 2.50GHz with cores. It adds a little more than 7ms to boot time when testing on the same CPU. Changelog v3: 1. Modify annotation of unwind_init(). Changelog v2: 1. Type of section orc_lookup needs to be SHT_PROGBITS. 2. unwind_init() cannot be removed totally as setting lookup_num_blocks is needed.
