Rollup merge of #44626 - MaulingMonkey:lld-link-natvis-regression-fix, r=michaelwoerister
Skip passing /natvis to lld-link until supported.

### Overview

Teaching rustc about MSVC's undocumented linker flag, /NATVIS, broke rustc's compatability with LLVM's `lld-link` frontend, as it does not recognize the flag.  This pull request works around the problem by excluding `lld-link` by name.  @retep998 discovered this regression.

### Possible Issues

- Other linkers that try to be compatible with the MSVC linker flavor may also be broken and in need of workarounds.
- Warning about the workaround may be overkill for a minor reduction in debug functionality.
- Depending on how long this workaround sticks around, it may eventually be preferred to version check `lld-link` instead of assuming all versions are incompatible.

### Relevant issues
* Broke in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/43221 Embed MSVC .natvis files into .pdbs and mangle debuginfo for &str, *T, and [T].
* LLVM patched in https://github.com/llvm-mirror/lld/commit/27b9c4285364d8d76bb43839daa100c2f80f8329 to ignore the flag instead of erroring.
