Auto merge of #51936 - japaric:rust-lld, r=alexcrichton

rename rustc's lld to rust-lld

to not shadow the system installed LLD when linking with LLD.

Before:

- `-C linker=lld -Z linker-flavor=ld.lld` uses rustc's LLD
- It's not possible to use a system installed LLD that's named `lld`

With this commit:

- `-C linker=rust-lld -Z linker-flavor=ld.lld` uses rustc's LLD
- `-C linker=lld -Z linker-flavor=ld.lld` uses the system installed LLD

we don't offer guarantees about the availability of LLD in the rustc sysroot so we can rename the tool as long as we don't break the wasm32-unknown-unknown target which depends on it.

r? @alexcrichton we discussed this before
