IMPALA-12807: Add support for mold linker

This adds support for using the mold linker. It changes
the existing USE_GOLD_LINKER environment variable to
IMPALA_LINKER, which accepts ld, gold, or mold as
values. It defaults to 'gold' to match current behavior.
Developers can override it in bin/impala-config-local.sh.

Clang does not implement -gz properly until version 12.
It does not enable compressed debuginfo in the final
binary. IMPALA_LINKER=mold doesn't work with
IMPALA_COMPRESSED_DEBUG_INFO=true on Clang due to this.
This detects Clang <12 and skips -gz as it is ineffective.

Mold follows similar to behavior to LLD and requires
--exclude-libs to use the full library name (i.e.
liblz4.a rather than liblz4). Gold will happily
accept the full library name, so this changes to use
the full library name.

Mold is much faster for incremental builds on my system:
(e.g. touch be/src/scheduling/scheduler.cc && make -j8 impalad)
gold: 15.8s
mold: 2.6s

Testing:
 - Ran builds with IMPALA_LINKER=mold on Centos 7, Redhat 8,
   and Ubuntu 20.
