kbuild: check the minimum linker version in Kconfig

Browse Source 
Unify the two scripts/ld-version.sh and scripts/lld-version.sh, and
check the minimum linker version like scripts/cc-version.sh did.

I tested this script for some corner cases reported in the past:

 - GNU ld version 2.25-15.fc23
   as reported by commit 8083013fc3 ("ld-version: Fix it on Fedora")

 - GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.20.1.20100303
   as reported by commit 0d61ed17dd ("ld-version: Drop the 4th and
   5th version components")

This script show an error message if the linker is too old:

  $ make LD=ld.lld-9
    SYNC    include/config/auto.conf
  ***
  *** Linker is too old.
  ***   Your LLD version:    9.0.1
  ***   Minimum LLD version: 10.0.1
  ***
  scripts/Kconfig.include:50: Sorry, this linker is not supported.
  make[2]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:71: syncconfig] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [Makefile:600: syncconfig] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:708: include/config/auto.conf] Error 2

I also moved the check for gold to this script, so gold is still rejected:

  $ make LD=gold
    SYNC    include/config/auto.conf
  gold linker is not supported as it is not capable of linking the kernel proper.
  scripts/Kconfig.include:50: Sorry, this linker is not supported.
  make[2]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:71: syncconfig] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [Makefile:600: syncconfig] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:708: include/config/auto.conf] Error 2

Thanks to David Laight for suggesting shell script improvements.
