MSP430: Word align __*_array_start symbols in sim linker scripts

__{preinit,init,fini}_array_start symbols must be word aligned in
linker scripts. If the section preceding the __*_array_start symbol
has an odd size, then a NULL byte will be present between the start
symbol and the .*_array section itself, when the section gets
automatically word-aligned.

This results in a branch to an invalid address when the CRT startup
code tries to run through the functions listed in the array sections.

__{preinit,init,fini}_array_start symbols must be word aligned in
linker scripts. If the section preceding the __*_array_start symbol
has an odd size, then a NULL byte will be present between the start
symbol and the .*_array section itself, when the section gets
