RISC-V: build: Allow LTO to be selected
Allow LTO to be selected for RISC-V, only when LLD >= 14, since there is an issue [1] in prior LLD versions that prevents LLD to generate proper machine code for RISC-V when writing `nop`s. To avoid boot failures in QEMU [2], '-mattr=+c' and '-mattr=+relax' need to be passed via '-mllvm' to ld.lld, as there appears to be an issue with LLVM's target-features and LTO [3], which can result in incorrect relocations to branch targets [4]. Once this is fixed in LLVM, it can be made conditional on affected ld.lld versions. Disable LTO for arch/riscv/kernel/pi, as llvm-objcopy expects an ELF object file when manipulating the files in that subfolder, rather than LLVM bitcode.
