[PATCH v3] 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).

XFAIL two tests sysdeps/x86/tst-ifunc-isa-* which have the BZ #28154
issue (LLD follows the PowerPC port of GNU ld for ifunc by placing
IRELATIVE relocations in .rela.dyn, triggering a glibc ifunc fragility).

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
(non-default version symbols are changed to default versions
by a version script BZ #28196).
