    rmodule: add bss clearing option to API
    
    There are circumstances where the loader should not clear the bss. For
    example, the ramstage clears its own bss. There is no sense in clearing
    the bss twice. Therefore, allow the loader to optionally clear the bss
    by adding a function that does not clear the bss.
