Chandler CarruthandJon Ross-Perkins e00394ea92 Teach the link subcommand to accept Clang-style LDFLAGS (#6741)
Add an optional additional set of positional parameters that can be
passed to the `link` subcommand for Clang-style (or GCC-style)
`LDFLAGS`. These can _also_ contain object files, etc., and in fact it
is useful to allow them to contain object files in order to integrate
the `carbon link` subcommand into a build system that mixes both link
flags and object files. This at least happens with Bazel, and I suspect
is common.

Eventually, it would be nice to have sufficient semantics to handle all
the varieties of links we want without resorting to this escape hatch,
but that's likely a long way away and so it seems especially useful to
allow falling back to Clang's flags as needed for now.

This does somewhat directly surface the Clang implementation detail in
the command line syntax, but I don't see a lot of good alternatives.
