Enable `link-arg` link kind inside of `#[link]` attribute

> This would help to make `link-arg` usable in `#[link]` attributes and e.g. wrap libc and libgcc into a group (*) in the libc crate like
>
> ```
> #[link(kind = "link-arg", name = "--start-group")]
> #[link(kind = "static", name = "c")]
> #[link(kind = "static", name = "gcc")]
> #[link(kind = "link-arg", name = "--end-group")]
> ```

> This is an analogue of CMake's LINKER: prefix (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/git-stage/command/target_link_options.html#handling-compiler-driver-differences), and was discussed as a possible future extension in the link modifier RFC (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2951-native-link-modifiers.md#support-linkarg--string-in-addition-to-the-modifiers).
