compilers/linkers: Add a representation for wasm-ld
Emscripten does have a stand alone linker, wasm-ld. This patch adds the linker, adds detection for the linker, and removes the IsLinkerMixin for emscripten. This is a little more correct, and makes the code a lot cleaner and more robust.

+## Property support emscripten's wasm-ld
+
+Before 0.54.0 we treated emscripten as both compiler and linker, which isn't
+really true. It does have a linker, called wasm-ld (meson's name is ld.wasm).
+This is a special version of clang's lld. This will now be detected properly.
