[PATCH] Accept LLD as a GNU ld compatible linker |

The ELF port of LLD (the LLVM linker) is a drop-in replacement for GNU
ld and is widely used nowadays.
https://reviews.llvm.org/D31199 added a User-Agent style hack to make
libtool recognize lld as a GNU ld compatible linker, but it would be
nice to support the "LLD" version string directly so that LLD can
eventually get rid of the hack.
`ld.lld -v` output:
LLD 11.0.0 (compatible with GNU linkers)
