[linker, macho] Don't map/allocate zero size sections and segments
Zero size sections are common even during regular build on MacOS. For
instance:
```
$ ar -xv libHSghc-prim-0.6.1.a longlong.o
$ otool -l longlong.o
longlong.o:

```
The issue of `mmap`ing 0 bytes was resolved in !1050, but the problem
remained. These 0 size segments and sections were still allocated in
object code, which lead to failed `ASSERT(size > 0)` in
`addProddableBlock` further down the road.
With this change zero size segments **and** sections are not
mapped/allocated at all.
Test plan:
1. Build statically linked GHC.
2. Run `ghc --interactive`. Observe that REPL loads
successfully (which was not the case before).
3. Load several more compiled hs files into repl. No failures.
