    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
