Building with a large config and -ffunction-sections results in a large
number of sections and sortextable needs to be able to handle that.
Implement support for > 64K sections as modpost does.

The exception table sorter outputs one line every time
it gets called, e.g. 'sort done marker at 66dc00', which
is slightly annoying when doing 'make -s' which is otherwise
completely silent. Since that output is not helpful to
most people building the kernel, turn it off by default.

x86 is now using relative rather than absolute addresses in its
exception table, so we add a sorter for these.  If there are
relocations on the __ex_table section, they are redundant and probably
incorrect after the sort, so they are zeroed out leaving them valid
and consistent.

Also use the unaligned safe accessors from tools/{be,le}_byteshift.h

Using this build-time sort saves time booting as we don't have to burn
cycles sorting the exception table.
