This ensures all stub component are freed when the kernel proper is done booting, by prefixing the names of all ELF sections that have the SHF_ALLOC attribute with ".init". This approach ensures that even implicitly emitted allocated data (like initializer values and string literals) are covered. At the same time, remove some __init annotations in the stub that have now become redundant, and add the __init annotation to handle_kernel_image which will trigger a section mismatch without it.
