[support/ld] Add linker support for reconfigurable heap.
- common_header.inc: Declare EXTERN symbols _lm_heap_start and _lm_heap_end. - common_rom.inc: Check for _lm_heap_start and _lm_heap_end. If they are defined, preserve their values. Otherwise, _lm_heap_start is starts after .bss, and _lm_heap_end is the end of SRAM. This allows existing linker scripts to continue using the old heap scheme, but allows for customizability elsewhere. - syscalls.c: Respect the addresses of _lm_heap_start and _lm_heap_end as the boundaries of the heap in _sbrk().
