[PATCH v4 1/2] Add declare_object_symbol_alias for assembly codes [BZ #28128]

["H.J. Lu" <hjl.tools@gmail.com>]

There are 2 problems in:

 #define declare_symbol_alias(symbol, original, type, size) \
  declare_symbol_alias_1 (symbol, original, type, size)
 #ifdef __ASSEMBLER__
 # define declare_symbol_alias_1(symbol, original, type, size) \
   strong_alias (original, symbol); \
   .type C_SYMBOL_NAME (symbol), %##type; \
   .size C_SYMBOL_NAME (symbol), size

1. .type and .size are substituted by arguments.
2. %##type is expanded to "% type" due to the GCC bug:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101613

But assembler doesn't support "% type".

Workaround BZ #28128 by

1. Don't define declare_symbol_alias for assembly codes.
2. Define declare_object_symbol_alias for assembly codes.
