[PATCH] scripts: Enhance bloat-o-meter to detect .rodata section size changes

[Iulia Manda]

Add functionality to scripts/bloat-o-meter to detect size changes in *.rodata*
sections not associated with a symbol (e.g changes to string constants).

Please note that gcc uses string padding, so .rodata section size may not change
after a small addition/removal.
