clang produces .eh_frame sections when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is enabled,
even when -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables is in KBUILD_CFLAGS:
$ make CC=clang vmlinux

This was already handled for a couple of other options in
commit d812db78288d ("vmlinux.lds.h: Avoid KASAN and KCSAN's unwanted
sections") and there is an open LLVM bug for this issue. Take advantage
of that section for this config as well so that there are no more orphan
warnings.

I suspect we're going to need to add module level attributes in LLVM
IR for these options, then check those when synthesizing new function
definitions within LLVM. At least we'll be able to point to this file
and say "hey, this is a general problem in LLVM, and here are 3
specific cases now where it's a problem." Not a large problem, but
would help us save some bytes in the final object. LLVM is not
producing data in this section for all code, just these synthesized
routines.

Maybe. There are also a long list of security features which may impose
additional requirements. Adding a module flag metadata for each such
feature will be a long battle. For .eh_frame, I think it is
important/generic enough and can benefit other applications that
deserves special handling (and I can look into it). For .init_array, I
am not too sure....

Drop -ftest-coverage. -ftest-coverage just produces .gcno and does not
affect code generation.

v1 -> v2:
* Keep configs and flag names alphabetized.
* Drop mention of -ftest-coverage since it does not cause this issue per
Fangrui.
* Pick up review tags from Fangrui and Nick.
