[arm] Avoid instruction references to symbols defined via ".equ"
When building for 64-bit ARM, some symbol references may be resolved via an "adrp" instruction (to obtain the start of the 4kB page containing the symbol) and a separate 12-bit offset. For example (taken from the GNU assembler documentation): adrp x0, foo ldr x0, [x0, #:lo12:foo] We occasionally refer to symbols defined via mechanisms that are not directly visible to gcc. For example: extern char some_magic_symbol[]; __asm__ ( ".equ some_magic_symbol, some_magic_expression" ); The subsequent use of the ":lo12:" prefix on such magically-defined symbols triggers an assertion failure in the assembler. This problem seems to affect only "private_key_len" in the current codebase. Fix by storing this value as static data; this avoids the need to provide the value as a literal within the instruction stream, and so avoids the problematic use of the ":lo12:" prefix.
