memlayout: Store region sizes as separate symbols

This patch changes the memlayout macro infrastructure so that the size
of a region "xxx" (i.e. the distance between the symbols _xxx and _exxx)
is stored in a separate _xxx_size symbol. This has the advantage that
region sizes can be used inside static initializers, and also saves an
extra subtraction at runtime. Since linker symbols can only be treated
as addresses (not as raw integers) by C, retain the REGION_SIZE()
accessor macro to hide the necessary typecast.
