Make sure sections are aligned to 32-bits in all LD linker scripts. This fixes and issues noted specifically for the SAMD21 by Bernd Walter, but should be applicable to all other LD scripts as well.

Squashed commit of the following:

    configs/:  Add . = ALIGN(4); before every .data section
    configs/:  Add . = ALIGN(4); before every ARM.extab section
    configs/:  Add . = ALIGN(4); before every definition of __exidx_start
    configs/:  Add . = ALIGN(4); before every .init_section.
    configs/:  Convert TABs to spaces in all ld linker scripts.  This just makes things easier to modify with scripts because the files are more consistent.
