29f2f04ded ghc: always use ld.gold
gold is known to speed up GHC builds considerably, saving up to many seconds
when linking large Haskell applications, so this patch configures all
non-binary GHC derivations to use gold.

b1e3d0737a ghc: Don't strip compilers
To test this I built a version of the compiler with `dontStrip = True`
and the vanilla version. The size of the result is both 1.4gb which
indicates that the stripping doesn't do anything meaningful.

Not stripping means that the debug rts is properly packages as it
contains DWARF information and unused debugging symbols.

Fixes #63511
