cmake: improve Zephyr link phase



Zephyr is a bare metal build where standard libs are disabled.

This means that c and runtime libraries must manually be linked in.

This has generally been handled by using CMake's link libraries handling
but the issue with that is both de-duplication but also library link
order.

Standard libraries must be linked at last location to ensure symbols
are always available, however this is not optimal with
target_link_libraries() because this would ultimately require every
library to know the c library to link with, which is not desired.

Therefore, setup standard C and runtime library linking in linker
CMake files for toolchains where this is required.

This commit expands the principle introduced with toolchain abstraction,
see PR#24851.

This means that a toolchain implementation may specify standard C,
runtime, C++, etc libraries, as well as their link order.
Because a property approach is used, then Zephyr modules, such as the
Picolibc module can adjust such properties.

An optional `zephyr_linker_finalize()` macro is called at the end of
Zephyr's CMakeList process and can be used by the toolchain
implementation to define the final linker invocation.

This aligns the linker handling flow to the principle introduced in
PR#24851 and improves the flexibility and robustness of Zephyr build
system.
