Summary:
Updated and reorganized. Made the following additions:
1) How to see if ld.gold is installed, and whether it is the current
default.
2) How to install ld.gold as the default or alternatively use
-fuse-ld=gold.
3) Move the part about installing the newly built ld-new as the default
to the prior section and how to use --enable-gold=default to do it
automatically on install.
4) Add a note about ld.bfd supporting plugins but indicate that it is
not tested by the LLVM project and gold is the recommended linker for
use with the gold plugin.
Fixes PR32760.

This reverts commit r306102.
This change was made without any review, and has a couple of issues.
First, AFAIK we do not test the combination of the LLVM gold plugin with
ld.bfd. Second, the change removed documentation for how to build gold
and replaced it with instructions for building ld.bfd.

* Update build instructions to reflect the current source tree layout.
* Don't inflict CVS on readers; there's a perfectly good git mirror.
* configure with --disable-werror making it possible to build using clang.
* ar and nm-new now support the -plugin option.

Before we learned about :doc:, we used :ref: and put a dummy link at the
top of each page. Don't do that anymore.
This fixes PR14891 as a special case.
