This commit adds a new option to the driver that truncates one file
after
linking.
Tested likeso:
$ gcc hello.c -c
$ du -h hello.o
4.0K hello.o
$ gcc hello.o -truncate hello
$ ./a.out
Hello world
$ du -h hello.o
$ 0 hello.o
$ gcc hello.o -truncate
gcc: error: missing filename after '-truncate'
The motivation for adding this is PR110710. It is used by lto-wrapper
to
truncate files in a shell-independent manner.

On second thought, doing the truncation in driver::maybe_run_linker()
seems wrong.
driver::final_actions seems like the better place to put this code.
Will resubmit.
