The GNU linker accepts -z, but this is undocumented, and not supported by other linkers.

In particular, zig cc, when used as the C compiler/linker (e.g. when using cargo-zigbuild), will not accept this undocumented syntax.

In linker.rs, both syntaxes are also used inconsistently.

The Go compiler used to have the same issue, but fixed it:

golang/go@38607c5

Thanks @jedisct1! I can't think of any reason we wouldn't want to use the documented syntax in this case, even if the current version works for ld/lld.

Marking this as rollup=never to make it easier to bisect if there is fallout.
