Subject: [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().
