Add program property

We introduce .note.gnu.property section to store infomations that linker
or runtime system may use, and we define 4 program property classes to
specifying the merge semantics, it's used for forward compatibility in linker
implementations, allowing linker can correctly handle program property types
even if they are not recognized.

We don't define any program property within this PR, it would be
separate PR like #417

+=== Program Property
+
+Program property are used to record information about an object file/binary that
+a linker or runtime loader needs to check compatibility.
+
+The program property is divided into different classes, each defining a range
+of program property types and specifying the merge semantics. This is designed
+for forward compatibility in linker implementations, allowing them to correctly
+handle program property types even if they are not recognized.
