Fix the linker script to generate three distinct PT_LOAD segments with
correct permissions instead of combining .rodata with .data.

Before this fix, the linker auto-generated only two PT_LOAD segments:
1. Text segment (PF_R|PF_X)
2. Data segment (PF_R|PF_W) - containing .rodata, .data, .bss, etc.

This caused .rodata to be mapped with write permissions when
riscv_mmu_setup_from_elf() or riscv_pmp_setup_from_elf() set up memory
permissions based on ELF segments, defeating the W^X protection.

With explicit PHDRS directives, we now generate three segments:
1. text segment (PF_R|PF_X): .text and related code sections
2. rodata segment (PF_R): .rodata and related read-only sections
3. data segment (PF_R|PF_W): .data, .bss, and related sections

This ensures riscv_mmu_setup_from_elf() and riscv_pmp_setup_from_elf()
correctly map .rodata as read-only instead of read-write.

Also update the prelink script to handle binaries without a PT_DYNAMIC
segment, as the new PHDRS layout may result in this case.
