arm64: Rename page table BSS section to .bss..pgtbl
Rename the .pgdir.bss section to .bss..pgtbl so that the compiler will notice the leading ".bss" and mark it as NOBITS by default (rather than PROGBITS, which would take up space in Image binary, forcing all of the preceding BSS to be emitted into the image as well). This supersedes the NOLOAD linker directive, which achieves the same thing, and can be therefore be dropped. Also, rename .pgdir to .pgtbl to be more generic, as page tables of various levels will reside here.
