cmake: Configure the ThinLTO cache directory when using ELF lld or gold.

CC Bob, I suspect we should add the support for this option for lld-link on windows as well.

Is LLVM_USE_LINKER already normalized into lower case? It seems that STREQUAL is case sensitive.

I'm fine with this for now, but I feel we should provide a clang driver option to abstract away all this logic.

I don't think so, but I wouldn't normally expect something like -DLLVM_USE_LINKER=LLD to work anyway because this will translate into -fuse-ld=LLD which probably wouldn't work on case-sensitive file systems (which ELF targets normally are).

Agreed, I've added a FIXME.
