  [X86] Treat __start_*/__stop_* symbols as large (#79909)

Followup to #79884.

The linker adds __start_foo/__stop_foo symbols pointing to the
beginning/end of the foo section. These can be far away from text, so
treat them as large symbols under the medium/large code models.
Performance to access these is almost certainly not important.
