[RFC PATCH 4/4] scripts: convert profile2linkerlist.pl to Python

[Breno Rodrigues Alves]

Faithful re-implementation of profile2linkerlist.pl in Python 3
(stdlib only).

Note: the original Perl script has a regex that expects the
historical readprofile format '<num> <name> <num>'. Modern
readprofile outputs '<num>\t<name>', so the script produces
incorrect output for modern input (e.g. '*(.text.3)' instead
of '*(.text.foo)'). This behavior is preserved faithfully;
a follow-up patch can fix the regex separately.

Tested with the same input on both versions; output is
byte-for-byte identical.
