[PATCH 14/27] gdb/testsuite: Support text_segment on windows-msvc via /BASE

[Pedro Alves <pedro@palves.net>]

The gdb_compile text_segment option asks the linker to place the image
at a specific base address.  It dispatches to the right linker flag by
probing which one the linker accepts:

 -Ttext-segment => GNU ld
 --image-base   => LLVM's lld
 -Ttext         => gold

None of those are accepted by lld-link, the linker clang drives on a
windows-msvc target, so gdb_compile errors out with "Don't know how to
handle text_segment option."

Add a fourth probe case using lld-link's /BASE switch, gated on a new
linker_supports_base_flag probe that mirrors the existing ones.  /BASE
sets the preferred image base the same way GNU ld's --image-base does.
