Place the plugin metadata into special sections for Mac and Win

The plugin metadata is placed into a special section in the
object file on ELF systems to allow finding it fast. Place
the data into a special section on Mac and Windows as well,
even though we don't have Mach-O or COFF parsers available
yet.

This will allow us to add the Mach-O and COFF parsers as a pure
optimization later on.
