Bryan Drewery a7d84af890 Add WITH_SYSTEM_LINKER, on by default, that avoids building lld when possible.
This works similar to WITH_SYSTEM_COMPILER added in r300354.  It only
supports lld via WITH_LLD_BOOTSTRAP.

When both SYSTEM_COMPILER and SYSTEM_LINKER logic passes then libclang
will not build in cross-tools.  If either check fails though then
libclang is built.

The .info is reworked to notify when libclang will be built since if
either clang or lld needs to be rebuilt, but not the other, the
notification can lead to confusion on why "clang is building".

-fuse-ld= is not used with this method so some combinations of compiler
and linker are expected to fail.

A new 'make test-system-linker' target is added to see the logic results.

Makefile.inc1:
  CROSS_BINUTILS_PREFIX support had to be moved higher up so that XLD
  could be set and MK_LLD_BOOTSTRAP disabled before checking SYSTEM_LINKER
  logic as done with SYSTEM_COMPILER.  This also required moving where
  bsd.linker.mk was read since XLD needs to be set before parsing it.  This
  creates a situation where src.opts.mk can not test LINKER_FEATURES or
  add LLD_BOOTSTAP to BROKEN_OPTIONS.

.\" $FreeBSD$
Set to not opportunistically skip building a cross-linker during the
bootstrap phase of the build.
Normally, if the currently installed linker matches the planned bootstrap
linker type and revision, then it will not be built.
This does not prevent a linker from being built for installation though,
only for building one for the build itself.
The
.Va WITHOUT_LLD
and
.Va WITHOUT_BINUTILS
options control those.
.Pp
This option is only relevant when
.Va WITH_LLD_BOOTSTRAP
is set.
