In preparation for adding --orphan-handling=warn, explicitly keep the
.ARM.attributes section by expanding the existing ELF_DETAILS macro into
ARM_DETAILS.

I had to look up what the `0` meant:
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Output-Section-Attributes.html#Output-Section-Attributes
mentions it's an "address" and
https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/ld-2.9.1/html_chapter/ld_3.html#SEC21
mentions it as "start" (an address).
Unless we need those, can we drop them? (Sorry for the resulting churn
that would cause).  I think the NO_LOAD stuff makes more sense, but
I'm curious if the kernel checks for that.

NOLOAD means SHT_NOBITS (usually SHF_ALLOC). .ARM.attributes is a
non-SHF_ALLOC section.

An explicit 0 (output section address) is good - GNU ld's internal
linker scripts (ld --verbose output) use 0 for such non-SHF_ALLOC sections.
Without the 0, the section may get a non-zero address, which is not
wrong - but probably does not look well. See https://reviews.llvm.org/D85867 for details.
