configure: Coerce gcc to use $LD instead of system default
The configure script will now try to coerce gcc to use the linker pointed to by $LD instead of the system default (typically bfd ld). Moreover, we now check for `ld.gold` and `ld.lld` before trying `ld`. The previous behavior can be reverted to by using the new --disable-ld-override flag. On my machine gold seems to trigger an apparent infelicity in constructor behavior, causing T5435_asm to fail. I've opened #13883 to record this issue and have accepted the questionable constructor ordering for the time being.
