(1) Keep the `.init_array` and `.ctors` symbols and sort them according to their initialization priority.
(2) Exclude symbols ending with crtend.* and crtbegin.* to support c++
application.if we not exclude crtend.* crtbegin.* frame_dummy will be
added when enable any c++ application with global variables, this symbol
execution is problematic, removing it does not affect the application.

Extracting global variable information using scripts:
kasan_global.py:
1. Extract the global variable information provided by the -- param asan globals=1 option
2. Generate shadow regions for global variable out of bounds detection
Makefile:
1. Implement multiple links, embed the shadow area into the program, and call it by the Kasan module

As __start must be placed at a precise location, a separate, explicit
input section is needed to guarantee this.
Why is this an issue ? NuttX uses --entry=__start which puts __start in
its correct location, but out-of-tree builds won't work, so it more robust
to use an explicit section for the startup code and enforce its placement
in the linker script.
When I try to set priorities in certain programs, such as init_priority(HIGH_PRIORITY), I've noticed that during linking, there's no guarantee that the programs will be compiled in the sequence I've specified based on priority. This has led to some runtime errors in my program.
I realized that in the ld file, when initializing dynamic arrays, there's no assurance of initializing init_array.* before init_array. This has resulted in runtime errors in the program. Consequently, I've rearranged the init_array.* in the ld file of NuttX to be placed before init_array and added a SORT operation to init_array.* to ensure accurate initialization based on priorities during linking.
replace *(.init_array .init_array.*) with KEEP(*(.init_array .init_array.*)).
The KEEP statement within a linker script will instruct the linker to keep the specified section, even if no symbols inside it are referenced. This statement is used within the SECTIONS section of the linker script. This becomes relevant when garbage collection is performed at link time, enabled by passing the --gc-sections switch to the linker. The KEEP statement instructs the linker to use the specified section as a root node when creating a dependency graph, looking for unused sections. Essentially forcing the section to be marked as used.
