When U-Boot is relocated from flash to RAM pointers are modified
accordingly. However, pointers initialzed with NULL values should not
be modified so that they maintain their intended NULL value. If the
BSS segment is linked at address 0 its address will not be
updated as necessary during relocation.
This is a temporary workaround. The end goal is to add support to
U-Boot to dynamically locate the BSS at an arbitrary address at
runtime. When the ability to fixup the BSS inteligently is
added, this workaround can be removed and the 85xx link script
can put the BSS at a fixed address at link time.

The following changes allow U-Boot to fully relocate from flash to
RAM:
- Remove linker scripts' .fixup sections from the .text section
- Add -mrelocatable to PLATFORM_RELFLAGS for all boards
- Define CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS for all boards
Previously, U-Boot would partially relocate, but statically initialized
pointers needed to be manually relocated.

Some board ports place TEXT_BASE at a location that would cause the
RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS not to be at 0xfffffffc when we link. By default
we assume RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS will be 0xfffffffc if the board doesn't
explicitly set it.

There are really no differences between all the 85xx linker scripts so
we can just move to a single common one. Board code is still able to
override the common one if need be.
