This PR adds an optional feature to skip .data initialization during startup.
Introduces:
the skip-data-init feature that disables the .data copy loop in the reset handler, for boot flows that already initialize RAM (e.g. RP2040 boot2 that copies to RAM and unmaps flash).
Adds a compile-time guard preventing skip-data-init from being used with zero-init-ram.
Includes a minimal example at skip-data-init.rs.
Default behavior is unchanged; .data is still copied when the feature is not enabled.
This PR tries to address issue #609
