ARM: 9289/1: Allow pre-ARMv5 builds with ld.lld 16.0.0 and newer
Commit 6a7ee50f ("ARM: disallow pre-ARMv5 builds with ld.lld") prevented v4 or v4t kernels when ld.lld will link the kernel due to inserting unsupported blx instructions. ld.lld has been fixed in current main (16.0.0) to avoid inserting these instructions by inserting position independent thunks instead. Allow these configurations to be enabled when ld.lld 16.0.0 is used to link the kernel. Additionally, add a link to the upstream LLVM issue so that the reason for this dependency is clearly documented.
