Add a function to check whether the C compiler is using LTO.
To determine this, we compile a dummy source unit. In the GCC case,
we check whether the resulting object file contains ".gnu.lto*"
sections. In the clang case, we check whether a valid LLVM bytecode
file was output rather than a regular object.
The goal of this change is to reduce the amount of USE=lto abuse,
and have a consistent cross-package way of enabling LTO via setting
appropriate CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS.
