Nico Weber bbfe0b79e2 Omit path to lld binary from lld's error, warning, and log output.
lld currently prepends the absolute path to itself to every diagnostic it
emits. This path can be longer than the diagnostic, and makes the actual error
message hard to read.

There isn't a good reason for printing this path: if you want to know which lld
you're running, pass -v to clang – chances are that if you're unsure of this,
you're not only unsure when it errors out. Some people want an indication that
the diagnostic is from the linker though, so instead print just the basename of
the linker's path.

Before:

```
$ out/bin/clang -target x86_64-unknown-linux -x c++ /dev/null -fuse-ld=lld 
/Users/thakis/src/llvm-mono/out/bin/ld.lld: error: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory
/Users/thakis/src/llvm-mono/out/bin/ld.lld: error: cannot open crti.o: No such file or directory

/Users/thakis/src/llvm-mono/out/bin/ld.lld: error: cannot open crtn.o: No such file or directory
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
```

After:

```
$ out/bin/clang -target x86_64-unknown-linux -x c++ /dev/null -fuse-ld=lld 
ld.lld: error: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory
ld.lld: error: cannot open crti.o: No such file or directory

ld.lld: error: unable to find library -lgcc
ld.lld: error: unable to find library -lgcc_s
ld.lld: error: cannot open crtend.o: No such file or directory
ld.lld: error: cannot open crtn.o: No such file or directory
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
