[PATCH 3/3] kconfig: Add "ld-option-str"

[Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>]

Add the linker counterpart to $(cc-option-str), sharing a $(ld-probe)
with $(ld-option) the way the compiler macros share $(cc-probe). Like
$(cc-option-str), it can now be used as:

	config LD_OPT_FOO
		def_string "$(ld-option-str,--new-option,--old-option)"

An omitted fallback expands to the empty string.

Build tested ARCH=x86_64 defconfig with GCC 16.2.0, and checked against
GNU ld 2.47.
