Use .init_array rather than .ctors

LLVM TargetMachines default to using the (now-legacy) .ctors
representation of init functions. Mixing .ctors and .init_array
representations can cause issues when linking with lld.

This happens in practice for:

* Our profiling runtime which is currently implicitly built with
  .init_array since it is built by clang, which sets this field.
* External C/C++ code that may be linked into the same process.

To support legacy systems which may use .ctors, targets may now specify
that they use .ctors via the use_ctors attribute which defaults to
false.

For debugging and manual control, -Z use-ctors-section=yes/no will allow
manual override.

Fixes: #71233
