[tables] Redefine methods for accessing linker tables

Intel's C compiler (icc) chokes on the zero-length arrays that we
currently use as part of the mechanism for accessing linker table
entries.  Abstract away the zero-length arrays, to make a port to icc
easier.

Introduce macros such as for_each_table_entry() to simplify the common
case of iterating over all entries in a linker table.

Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than
unquoted literals; this avoids visual confusion between table names
and C variable or type names, and also allows us to force a
compilation error in the event of incorrect table names.
