Add CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS to support offset symbols
Link symbols as created by the link script can either be absolute or relative to the text start. This option switches between the two options so that we can support both. As we convert architectures over to generic board, we can see if this option is actually needed, or whether it is possible to unify this feature also. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

+- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
+ This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
+ instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
+ offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
+ directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
