Rollup merge of #153503 - bjorn3:cg_gcc_thin_lto_fallback, r=antoyo

Fallback to fat LTO for -Clto=thin in cg_gcc

Fallback to no LTO doesn't work in practice as Cargo asks rustc to produce LTO-only rlibs with -Clinker-plugin-lto without providing any indication if they will be used for thin or fat LTO, so we can't disable -Clinker-plugin-lto for ThinLTO when using cg_gcc.
