[PATCH v6 52/57] dyndbg: add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE, use it tacitly RFC

This defines a new macro (tbd: tweak name) which is a special version
of DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA_CLS().  Unlike that macro, which
declares callsites in pairs of desc/site recs.

This macro declares a pair of header records, which the linker script
then places once (.gnu.linkonce.) into the front of the respective
sections.  For builtins, the .linkonce gives us a single header
preceding all ~3-5k callsites.

It uses __unused, __weak, .gnu.linkonce to avoid trouble with multiple
inclusions, and should not consume space when not linked to by a
callsite in a loadable module.

Atypically, this macro is also tacitly invoked in the header, which is
indirectly included by printk.h.  This means 2 things: it mostly
insures that source files will declare it at least once, and that
multiple decls resolve to the identical storage address.

I did this with the expectation that I could let the linker compute
the offset and initialize ._index accordingly, but that resulted in
some "linker cant compute" error.  Ive initialized it in
__ddebug_add_module() instead.
