Pass --strip-debug to GccLinker when building without debuginfo

C.f. #46034

---

This brings a hello-world built by passing rustc no command line options from 2.9M to 592K on Linux.

(This might need to special case MacOS or Windows, not sure if the linkers there support `--strip-debug`, and there is an annoying lack of dependable docs for the linkers there.)
