bin: Use nasm_zalloc helper for section allocation in a sake of simplicity

Instead of opencoded zero assignments better to use nasm_zalloc
and set fields which are supposed to be non-nil. This simplifies
code and makes it more readable.

Also note the field 'ifollows' renamed to 'prev' as it should
be from the very beginning in terms of lists.
