currently binman calculates '_skip_at_start' based on 'end-at-4gb' property and it is used for x86 images.
for powerpc architecture also, '_skip_at_start' should be set because memory address 0xeff40000 or 0xfff40000 is the first entry offset. 'end-at-4gb' property is not applicable for 0xeff40000 first entry offset.
add new property start-pos' in section class so that '_skip_at_start' can be calculated either based on 'end-at-4gb' or based on 'start-pos'
