cmd/go: elide -rpath when not applicable and used via LDFLAGS

Some linker flags should only be applied when performing the final
linking step for a shared library or executable, etc. In other
contexts, they're either invalid, or meaningless to apply (so should
not be specified).

When an external linker is used (either directly by Go or by the
compiler driver used by cgo), -rpath and -rpath-link should only be
specified in the final linking step.  On platforms such as Solaris,
ld(1) will reject its use in any other scenario (such as when linking
relocatable objects).

This change is necessary because Go does not currently offer a way to
specify LDFLAGS based on when they should be applied.

Fixes #12115

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
