Update 'LLVM with Clang' linker options
Pass arguments to linker using "-Wl," prefix where necessary. Add "-fuse-ld=" option to allow selection of the GNU LD or LLVM LLD linker implementation explicitly. Remove obsolete "-verify-each", "-disable-internalize", "-disable-opt" and "-disable-inlining" options.
