kbuild: drop support for cc-ldoption 



If you want to see if your linker supports a certain flag, then ask the
linker directly with ld-option (not the compiler with cc-ldoption).
Checking for linker flag support is an antipattern that complicates the
usage of various linkers other than bfd via -fuse-ld={bfd|gold|lld}.

    cc-ldoption

	cc-ldoption is used to check if $(CC) when used to link object files

	supports the given option.  An optional second option may be

	specified if first option are not supported.



	Example:

		#arch/x86/kernel/Makefile

		vsyscall-flags += $(call cc-ldoption, -Wl$(comma)--hash-style=sysv)



	In the above example, vsyscall-flags will be assigned the option

	-Wl$(comma)--hash-style=sysv if it is supported by $(CC).

	The second argument is optional, and if supplied will be used

	if first argument is not supported.

	as-instr checks if the assembler reports a specific instruction

	and then outputs either option1 or option2
