cmd/cgo: use -Wl,--no-gc-sections if available
This change adds `--no-gc-sections` to the external linker if the flag is understood. zig cc passes `--gc-sections` to the underlying linker, which then causes undefined symbol errors when compiling with cgo but without C code. Minimal example: **main.go** ``` package main import _ "runtime/cgo" func main() {} ``` Run (works after the patch, doesn't work before): ``` CGO_ENABLED=1 CC="zig cc" go build main.go ``` @ianlancetaylor suggested: > It would be fine with me if somebody wants to send a cgo patch that passes -Wl,--no-gc-sections, with a fallback if that option is not supported. ... and this is what we are doing. Tested with zig 0.10.0-dev.896+e620b692c Fixes #52690
