Summary: Initial implementation of split-section on Windows. This also corrects section namings and uses the platform convention of `$` instead of `.` to separate sections. Implementation is based on @awson's patches to binutils. Binutils requires some extra help when compiling the libraries for GHCi usage. We drop the `-T` and use implicit scripts to amend the linker scripts instead of replacing it. Because of these very large GHCi object files, we need big-obj support, which will be added by another patch.
