llvm: enable LLVMgold.so build by adding binutils dependency
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/patch_v2_llvm_enab=
le/117274480 [PATCH v2] llvm: enable LLVMgold.so build by adding binutils d=
ependency

When build component using clang that utilize lto, and when the LLD linker =
connot be used (Use bfd), the LLVMgold.so plugin is required in the native =
sysroot.
LLVMgold.so plugin is generated when binutils-plugin is enabled.
libLTO.so.21.1 is generated on the target even if it is not enabled.

The reason they were bundled in to the same package is to distribute them v=
ia the nativesdk package.

As Deepesh suggested, I mae it possible to enable this via the binutils-plu=
gin rather than having it always built into LLVM.
The name "binutils-plugin" was inspired by gentoo's name convention. https:=
//packages.gentoo.org/useflags/binutils-plugin
