[release-branch.go1.20] cmd/go: enforce flags with non-optional arguments

Enforce that linker flags which expect arguments get them, otherwise it
may be possible to smuggle unexpected flags through as the linker can
consume what looks like a flag as an argument to a preceding flag (i.e.
"-Wl,-O -Wl,-R,-bad-flag" is interpreted as "-O=-R -bad-flag"). Also be
somewhat more restrictive in the general format of some flags.

Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
