both boot loader and tarfs add-on needs this info at build time, way
before haik_loader is built and BuildFloppyBootImage1 called... Or at
least that what I understood so far.
It seems the linker script for the boot loader already defines a symbol
`_end` (should really have a better name and definitely two underscores)
for the aligned end of the code, so it should be rather simple to get the
code size from within the boot loader. No jam/build magic needed.
