Auto merge of #43577 - cuviper:link-llvm-dylib, r=sanxiyn
Link LLVM tools dynamically

Set `LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON` -- "If enabled, tools will be linked with
the libLLVM shared library."  Rust doesn't ship any of the LLVM tools,
and only needs a few at all for some test cases, so statically linking
the tools is just a waste of space.  I've also had memory issues on
slower machines with LLVM debuginfo enabled, when several tools start
linking in parallel consuming several GBs each.

With the default configuration, `build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/llvm`
was 1.5GB before, now down to 731MB.  The difference is more drastic
with `--enable-llvm-release-debuginfo`, from 28GB to "only" 13GB.

This does not change the linking behavior of `rustc_llvm`.
