Windows TLS: Section name prefix to ensure correct order

The linker sorts the .tls$<xyz> sections by name, and we need
to make sure any extra sections we produce (e.g. for weak globals) 
always end up between .tls$AAA and .tls$ZZZ, even if the name 
starts with e.g. an underscore.

Patch by David Nadlinger!
