Since I'd like to avoid changes to existing linker script, I
give special treatment for .init/.fini section.  SORT_NONE
will only be needed for other sections.

In this way, user can use the same linker script for both old
and new linkers unless they have special sections which
require SORT_NONE.  Of course, --sort-section=alignment
only works with the new linker.
