The clang-linker-wrapper ignores `--allow-multiple-definition` option which 
could cause a build (with --offload-arch) to fail with duplicate symbols error. 
Same build will pass without --offload-arch= because this option reaches the 
linker. This PR fixes the issue by forwarding the option so that it reaches the 
linker.

Subject: [PATCH] [ClangLinkerWrapper] Forward --allow-multiple-definition to
 linker.

The clang-linker-wrapper would ignore this option which could cause a
build (with --offload-arch) to fail with duplicate symbols error.
