added support for the /DISCARD/ pseudo-section in Wild linker scripts, similar to how GNU ld handles it , we now recognize /DISCARD/ blocks, turn their patterns into discard rules, and make sure any matching sections are intentionally removed instead of being treated as errors in the layout
this helps bring Wild in line with real-world linker scripts where /DISCARD/ is commonly used to strip out debug info or other unnecessary sections.
I also updated the symbol handling so that anything coming from discarded sections isn’t emitted or exported. This avoids some failures while keeping the behavior unchanged for normal sections.
