[PATCH v2 1/2] Driver: Add new -truncate option

[Peter Damianov <peter0x44@disroot.org>]

This commit adds a new option to the driver that truncates one file after
linking.

Tested likeso:

$ gcc hello.c -c
$ du -h hello.o
4.0K  hello.o
$ gcc hello.o -truncate hello
$ ./a.out
Hello world
$ du -h hello.o
$ 0   hello.o

$ gcc hello.o -truncate
gcc: error: missing filename after '-truncate'

The motivation for adding this is PR110710. It is used by lto-wrapper to
truncate files in a shell-independent manner.

Signed-off-by: Peter Damianov <peter0x44@disroot.org>

v2: moved truncation to driver::final_actions
