cmd/go,cmd/link: prefer external linking when strange cgo flags seen
This patch changes the Go command to examine the set of compiler
flags feeding into the C compiler when packages that use cgo are built.
If any of a specific set of strange/dangerous flags are in use,
then the Go command generates a token file ("preferlinkext") and
embeds it into the compiled package's archive.
When the Go linker reads the archives of the packages feeding into the
link and detects a "preferlinkext" token, it will then use external
linking for the program by default (although this default can be
overridden with an explicit "-linkmode" flag).
The intent here is to avoid having to teach the Go linker's host object
reader to grok/understand the various odd symbols/sections/types that
can result from boutique flag use, but rather to just boot the objects
in question over to the C linker instead.
