ld: Create a new LOAD segment for separate code segment
When generating separate code LOAD segment, create a new LOAD segment
if the previous section contains text and the current section doesn't
or vice versa:
Elf file type is DYN (Shared object file)
Entry point 0x200020
There are 7 program headers, starting at offset 52

to prevent fetching or executing data in code pages as instructions.
Also don't put a writable section in a read-only segment if there is a
RELRO segment.
Since code segment is aligned and padded to the maximum page size on
disk, the minimum file size is bigger than the maximum page size which
is 2MB (0x200000):

"-z max-page-size=0x1000" can be used to reduce the maximum page size to
4KB (0x1000):

* elf.c (_bfd_elf_map_sections_to_segments): When generating
separate code and read-only data LOAD segments, create a new
LOAD segment if the previous section contains text and the
current section doesn't or vice versa. Don't put a writable
section in a read-only segment if there is a RELRO segment.
