618655192f [AArch64] Implement branch over stub section.
Ensure that injection of a stub section does not break a link where
there is an xpectation that flow of control can pass from one input
section to another simply by linking the input sections in series.

The solution here is to allow stub sections to be inserted after any
input section (existing behaviour), but inject an additional branch at
the start of each stub section such that control flow falling into the
stub section will branch over the stub section.

d9ced15d6e [AArch64] Remove padding before stub sections.
Lower stub alignment from 8 to 4 bytes thus removing padding between
input section content and stub section content.
