kbuild doc: a bundle of fixes on makefiles.txt 

It does several fixes:
1. move the displaced ld example to its reasonable place.
2. add new example for command gzip.
3. fix 2 number errors.
4. fix format of chapter 7.x, make it looks the same as other chapters.

ld
Link target. Often, LDFLAGS_$@ is used to set specific options to ld.
objcopy
Copy binary. Uses OBJCOPYFLAGS usually specified in
arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile.
OBJCOPYFLAGS_$@ may be used to set additional options.
gzip
Compress target. Use maximum compression to compress target.
Example:
#arch/x86/boot/Makefile
LDFLAGS_bootsect := -Ttext 0x0 -s --oformat binary
