Rollup merge of #56349 - davidtwco:issue-55396-inference-extension, r=nagisa

rustc 1.30.0's linker flavor inference is a non-backwards compat change to -Clinker

Part of #55396.

This commit modifies linker flavor inference to only remove the extension
to the linker when performing inference if that extension is a 'exe'.
