configure: use TEST_CC to check for --no-error-execstack

The ld.lld does not support the --no-error-execstack option, and it is
required only to suppress the linker warning while building tests. A new
configure macro, LIBC_TEST_LINKER_FEATURE, is added to check for linker
features using TEST_CC instead of CC.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu with gcc and
TEST_CC set to clang-18 and clan-21.
