infra: use LLD for all configurations

This makes it consistent to use LLD across all configurations. It also
moves away from using gold linker, which has recently been deprecated.

On top of that LLD is faster and has better compatibility with LLVM
toolchain that is already used for building.

This commit also fixes warnings that can sometimes occur with BFD
linker that doesn't fully support DWARF 5, at least the version on the
builder: DWARF: invalid or unhandled FORM value: 0x22

Some projects already replaced linker in their build scripts for this
reason.

@@ -101,16 +101,16 @@ There are some differences in build environment for Fuzz Introspector builds
 in comparison to e.g. ASAN or code coverage builds. The reason is that
 Fuzz Introspector relies on certain compile-time tools to do its analysis.
 This compile time tooling differs between languages, namely:
-- For C/C++, Fuzz Introspector relies on [LLVM LTO](https://llvm.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html) and [LLVM Gold](https://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html)
+- For C/C++, Fuzz Introspector relies on [LLVM LTO](https://llvm.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html)
 - For Python, Fuzz Introspector relies on a modified [PyCG](https://github.com/vitsalis/PyCG)
 - For Java, Fuzz Introspector relies on [Soot](https://soot-oss.github.io/soot/)
 
 The consequence of this is your project must be compatible with these projects.
 PyCG and Soot have not shown to be a blocker for many projects, however, experience
 has shown that sometimes a project's build needs modification in order to compile
 with LLVM LTO. The easiest way to test if your project works with LLVM is checking
-whether your project can compile with the flags `-flto -fuse-ld=gold` and using
-the gold linker. OSS-Fuzz automatically sets these flags and linker options when
+whether your project can compile with the flags `-flto -fuse-ld=lld` and using
+the LLD linker. OSS-Fuzz automatically sets these flags and linker options when
 using `infra/helper.py` to build your project with `--sanitizer=introspector`, e.g.
