compilers: Move the compiler argument to proxy linker flags to the compiler class

Instead of the DynamicLinker returning a hardcoded value like
`-Wl,-foo`, it now is passed a value that could be '-Wl,', or could be
something '-Xlinker='

This makes a few things cleaner, and will make it possible to fix using
clang (not clang-cl) on windows, where it invokes either link.exe or
lld-link.exe instead of a gnu-ld compatible linker.
