[cmake] Add linker detection for Apple platforms
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

LLVM currently assumes that Apple platforms will always use ld64. In the
future, LLD Mach-O might also be supported, so add the beginnings of
linker detection support. ld64 is currently the only detected linker,
since ld64.lld -v doesn't yield any useful version output, but we can
add that detection later, and in the meantime it's still useful to have
the ld64 identification.

Switch clang's order file check to use this new detection rather than
just checking for the presence of an ld64 executable.

It really is unfortunate that linkers can spell version differently :-(. It would be really nice to be able to unify the linker version detection.

I'll change this (and all the ones below) in a follow-up.
