On Unix the limits can be gargantuan anyway so we're pretty
unlikely to hit them, but might still exceed it.
We consult ARG_MAX here to get an estimate.
In LLVM v9, lld has supported @response-file
LLVM v9 was released on 2019-09-19.
And the check was added back to 2018-03-14 (1.26.0) via 04442af18b.
It has been more than five years, and we ship our own lld regardlessly.
This should be happily removed.

- Don't show environment variables. Seeing PATH is almost never useful, and it can be extremely long.
- For .rlibs in the sysroot, replace crate hashes with a `"-*"` string. This will expand to the full crate name when pasted into the shell.
- Move `.rlib` to outside the glob.
- Abbreviate the sysroot path to `<sysroot>` wherever it appears in the arguments.
This also adds an example of the linker output as a run-make test. Currently it only runs on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, because each platform has its own linker arguments. So that it's stable across machines, pass BUILD_ROOT as an argument through compiletest through to run-make tests.
- Only use linker-flavor=gnu-cc if we're actually going to compare the output. It doesn't exist on MacOS.
- The logic is now unified for all targets (wasm targets should also be supported now)
- Additional "symlink" files like `ld64` are eliminated
- lld-wrapper is used for propagating the correct lld flavor
- Cleanup "unwrap or exit" logic in lld-wrapper
