The previous code uses _start as the load address, this default .entry is
the first segment, using _fw_start does not need to make this assumption.

Enable OpenSBI to support position independent execution. Because the
position independent code will cause an additional GOT reference when
accessing the global variables, it will reduce performance a bit. Therefore,
the position independent execution is disabled by default. Users can
through specifying "FW_PIC=y" on the make command to enable this feature.
In theory, after enabling position-independent execution, the OpenSBI
can run at arbitrary address with appropriate alignment. Therefore, the
original relocation mechanism will be skipped. In other words, OpenSBI will
directly run at the load address without any code movement.

The linker sections .sdata and .sbss are missing from the linker script
fw_base.ldS. Add them to the .data and .bss sections.
On current builds, most variables are in the .sbss section. They are not
correctly initialized to zero, because they are not within the
boundaries indicated by _bss_start and _bss_end. Currently, this does
not cause any issues, however with relocation support lock-ups may occur
due to incorrectly initialized lock variables.

The fw_common.S is the base firmware extendend by fw_jump and
fw_payload. This patch renames fw_common.S to fw_base.S to
have more clear/intutive name for base firmware.
