Fixes #8976 and #9873 by making use of the Binutils ld.gold linker explicit whenever the target is linux/ARM or android/ARM. This does not affect iOS where Apple provides its own linker. In order to achieve this, we need to add `-fuse-ld=gold` to the SettingsCCompilerLinkFlags setting and set SettingsLdCommand to `ld.gold` (or `${target}-ld.gold` when cross-compiling). In addition, simplifying the use of `$(CONF_GCC_LINKER_OPTS_STAGEn)`. This patch was tested by ensuring that the following worked as expected: * Native builds on linux/x86_64 (nothing changed). * Native builds on linux/arm (and uses the gold linker). * Linux to linux/arm cross compiles (and uses the cross gold linker).
