MFC r340984: Do not install GNU ld if lld is /usr/bin/ld

GNU binutils ld.bfd 2.17.50 does not support ifuncs and produces broken
binaries when ifuncs are in use. When LLD_IS_LD is default we have an
ifunc-capable system linker and can just avoid installing ld.bfd.

Merged to stable/12 as libc's ifunc use has been merged there; ifunc use
has not been merged to releng/12.0 so this change does not need to be
either.

Retire WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY option

In FreeBSD 11 ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy is installed as objcopy by
default, with the option to switch back to GNU objcopy by setting
WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY in make.conf.

We plan to remove the outdated in-tree binutils in FreeBSD 12, so
remove the temporary transition aid.

Roll WITHOUT_ELFTOOLCHAIN_TOOLS into WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN

The option was added only to ease the transition from GNU Binutils to
ELF Tool Chain tools, and that process is now complete (for the viable
replacements). Noting the removal in UPDATING is sufficient as we have
not shipped a release with the option.

Allow ELF Tool Chain elfcopy to be installed as objcopy

ELF Tool Chain elfcopy is nearly a drop-in replacement for GNU objcopy,
but does not currently support PE output which is needed for building
x86 UEFI bits.

Add a src.conf knob to allow installing it as objcopy and set it by
default for aarch64 only, where we don't have a native binutils.

GDB has moved up one level.

Disable building of GDB info files until the gdb6 upgrade is finished.

Updated Bmake framework for Binutils 2.15.

Disable gdb from the build due to the impending binutils 2.15 import.
GDB 5.12 cannot consume the 2.15 bfd and libiberty.

Remove MAINTAINER lines.

GDB 5.2.1 doesn't build on sparc64 right now.

GDB plays nice with Binutils again.

Turn off GDB for now. It and the new binutils just aren't agreeing on our
binary format.

gdb now builds on sparc64.

Turn back on GDB.
gdbserver does not build, but I've gone about as far with GDB as I'm going
to right now.
