    configure: Allow LD to be LLD 13.0.0 or above [BZ #26558]
    
    When using LLD (LLVM linker) as the linker, configure prints a confusing
    message.
    
        *** These critical programs are missing or too old: GNU ld
    
    LLD>=13.0.0 can build glibc --enable-static-pie. (8.0.0 needs one
    workaround for -Wl,-defsym=_begin=0. 9.0.0 works with
    --disable-static-pie).
    
    With BZ #28153 (glibc bug exposed by testing with LLD) fixed,
    `make check` only has 2 more failures with LLD than with GNU ld:
    BZ #28154 (LLD follows the PowerPC port of GNU ld for ifunc by
    placing IRELATIVE relocations in .rela.dyn).
    The set of dynamic symbols is the same with GNU ld and LLD,
    modulo unused SHN_ABS version node symbols.
    
    For comparison, gold does not support --enable-static-pie
    yet (--no-dynamic-linker is unsupported BZ #22221), yet
    has 6 failures more than LLD. gold linked libc.so has
    larger .dynsym differences with GNU ld and LLD
    (ISTM non-default version symbols are changed to default versions
    by a version script).
    
    ---
    
    I identified the lack of support of
    
    * version script on non-default version symbols
    * copy relocations on non-default version symbols
    
    in an earlier snapshot of LLD 13.0.0 and fixed them.
    The functionality of the LLD linked libc.so and ld.so looks pretty good.
