bsps/sparc: Remove support to load data section
Remove the support to load the data section and rely on the boot loader. The
code is an artifact from the old erc32 days, when we would boot and execute
from ROM and the .data had to be copied over to RAM. With leon1/2/3, this is
not used anymore as a boot loader is made from the RAM image using a custom
tool (mkprom).
In SMP configurations, this support was also broken since LEON3_Boot_Cpu
(in the data section due to the -1 initialization value) was used quite
early in the start sequence.
If the data copy is really necessary, then an application can still add this
step as a very early system initialization step, since boot_card() and the
system initialization loop does not use initialized read-write data (only
read-only and BSS data). However, the SMP startup would still not work in this
case. A boot loader is a better place to load the sections.
