Fix build without the gold linker

The Go runtime silently chose the gold linker on arm and aarch64 build
targets to work around a binutils bug.

That bug was from 2016, and has been fixed in binutils for a while.  But
the Go workaround was still in place.

The workaround to choose gold was supposed to error out during the
configure phase if gold wasn't found - but that doesn't happen.

This leads to builds on aarch64 failing if attempting to compile without
gold.

Just removing the special condition in the Go source code:

https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/391115/

works, but that patch is unlikely to be merged upstream.

A patch fixing the build is more likely to be merged:

https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/366279/

which updates the linker selection to use gold only if available.

Including the likely-to-be-merged patch here.

Subject: [PATCH] cmd/link: use gold on ARM/ARM64 only if gold is available
COPY relocation handling on ARM/ARM64 has been fixed in recent versions
of the GNU linker. This switches to gold only if gold is available.
Fixes #22040.
