util/cbfstool/rmodule: Omit undefined extern symbols from reloc table
When using `DECLARE_OPTIONAL_REGION`, it is assumed that
REGION_SIZE(name) == 0 if the region was not defined in the memlayout.
When using non-rmodule stages (i.e., bootblock, romstage, etc), this
assumption holds true, but breaks down in rmodule (i.e., ramstage)
stages.
The rmodule tool is not currently omitting undefined externals from the
relocation table. e.g.,
extern u8 _##name##_size[];
This means that when the rmodule loader runs, it will rewrite the symbol
from 0 (which is the default the linker assumed) to 0 + offset. This is
wrong since the symbol doesn't actually exist. Instead we need to omit
the relocation so it continues to keep the default value of 0.
BUG=b:179699789
TEST=Print out REGION_SIZE(cbfs_cache) in ramstage and verify it is set
to 0.
I also see the following printed by the rmodtool now:
DEBUG: Omitting relocation for undefined extern: _watchdog_tombstone_size
DEBUG: Omitting relocation for undefined extern: _watchdog_tombstone
DEBUG: Omitting relocation for undefined extern: _watchdog_tombstone
DEBUG: Omitting relocation for absolute symbol: _stack_size

DEBUG: Omitting relocation for absolute symbol: _payload_preload_cache
DEBUG: Omitting relocation for undefined extern: _cbfs_cache
DEBUG: Omitting relocation for undefined extern: _cbfs_cache_size
As you can see the _watchdog_tombstone will also be fixed by this CL.
