Add a LLVM_USE_LINKER that defines the linker to use when building LLVM

Summary:
This string parameter is passed to -fuse-ld when linking. It can be
an absolute path to your custom linker, otherwise clang will look for
`ld.{name}`.

@ -382,6 +382,18 @@ LLVM-specific variables
lines, enabling link-time optimization. Possible values are ``Off``,
``On``, ``Thin`` and ``Full``. Defaults to OFF.
**LLVM_USE_LINKER**:STRING
Add ``-fuse-ld={name}`` to the link invocation. The possible value depend on
your compiler, for clang the value can be an absolute path to your custom
linker, otherwise clang will prefix the name with ``ld.`` and apply its usual
search. For example to link LLVM with the Gold linker, cmake can be invoked
with ``-DLLVM_USE_LINKER=gold``.
**LLVM_ENABLE_LLD**:BOOL
This option is equivalent to `-DLLVM_USE_LINKER=lld`, except during a 2-stage
build where a dependency is added from the first stage to the second ensuring
that lld is built before stage2 begins.
**LLVM_PARALLEL_COMPILE_JOBS**:STRING
Define the maximum number of concurrent compilation jobs.
