Windows: Use more efficient ld.bfd fork

Ben Gamari requested to merge wip/fix-windows-ci into master

This switches GHC's mingw toolchain to use @Phyx's binutils fork which improves performance of the hashing logic in ld.bfd. This appears to make a non-negligible difference to overall validation times: using the quick build flavour the time of make; make test goes from 171 minutes to 157 minutes.
