compiler.h: avoid escaped section names

The stringification operator, `#`, in the preprocessor escapes strings.
For example, `# "foo"` becomes `"\"foo\""`.  GCC and Clang differ in how
they treat section names that contain \".

The portable solution is to not use a string literal with the preprocessor
stringification operator.

In this case, since __section unconditionally uses the stringification
operator, we actually want the more verbose
__attribute__((__section__())).

Fixes: commit e04462fb82f8 ("Compiler Attributes: remove uses of __attribute__ from compiler.h")
