Add llvm linker detection to configure
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-10/msg01240.html This is currently only used for webengine, where link time really matters. New configure options: * force 'lld' '-linker lld' or' --linker=lld' * force 'gold' '-linker gold' or '--linker=gold' * force 'bfd' '-linker bfd' or '--linker=bfd' Note before by default gold was always forced (if supported) now default linker is system default one. [ChangeLog][Tools][configure & build system] Added --linker=[bfg,lld,gold] configure flag. Change-Id: Idaa13510da70243c6176b96db846d629cd65c7af Reviewed-by: Kai Koehne <kai.koehne@qt.io>
