[PATCH] imd: drop .barebox_imd section from arm/riscv non-PBL lds

[Ahmad Fatoum]

Both ARM and RISC-V are platforms that always have a PBL in front of
barebox proper.

As this means any IMD tags in barebox proper would be usually compressed
and thus not visible to software outside, we can just drop these
sections from the barebox.lds.S, knowing that pbl.lds.S includes them.
