[Driver] Change MipsLinux default linker from "lld" to "ld.lld"

If this piece of code used to be working correctly, there is another piece of code that adds -flavor ld to the command line. But if that's the case, this change wouldn't work because it constructs something like "ld.lld -flavor ld ...". ld.lld doesn't accept -flavor option.

So my guess is this code is dead. Or, am I missing something?

The tools::gnutools::Linker::ConstructJob method contains code which adds -flavor old-gnu command line option if linker name is "lld". Probably this code can be removed now.
