modpost: support arbitrary symbol length in modversion

Currently modversion uses a fixed size array of size (64 - sizeof(long))
to store symbol names, thus placing a hard limit on length of symbols.
Rust symbols (which encodes crate and module names) can be quite a bit
longer. The length limit in kallsyms is increased to 512 for this reason.

It's a waste of space to simply expand the fixed array size to 512 in
modversion info entries. I therefore make it variably sized, with offset
to the next entry indicated by the initial "next" field.

In addition to supporting longer-than-56/60 byte symbols, this patch also
reduce the size for short symbols by getting rid of excessive 0 paddings.
There are still some zero paddings to ensure "next" and "crc" fields are
properly aligned.

This patch does have a tiny drawback that it makes ".mod.c" files generated
a bit less easy to read, as code like

	"\x08\x00\x00\x00\x78\x56\x34\x12"
	"symbol\0\0"

is generated as opposed to

	{ 0x12345678, "symbol" },

because the structure is now variable-length. But hopefully nobody reads
the generated file :)
