Benoît Thébaudeau ab4b955f17 cc2538: Sort link input sections by alignment to optimize size
Normally, the linker does not sort files and sections matched by wildcards, so
they are placed in the order in which they are seen during link. If numerous
objects with different alignments are mixed, or if objects with unusually large
alignments are present, this very likely leads to a lot of space being wasted
because of accumulated alignment gaps.

This commit forces input sections to be sorted by alignment (unless this is
overridden by the linker script), which decreases the number and the size of
alignment gaps, thus saving space.

For a typical Contiki project, this change saves nearly 1 kiB, mainly in .bss.

Note that this behavior is only enabled if the SMALL make variable is set to 1,
because this makes more sense for a size optimization.
