treewide: add support for "lto" in PKG_BUILD_FLAGS

This reduces open coding and allows to easily add a knob to enable
it treewide, where chosen packages can still opt-out via "no-lto".

Some packages used LTO, but not the linker plugin. This unifies 'em
all to attempt to produce better code.
Quoting man gcc(1):
"This improves the quality of optimization by exposing more code to the
link-time optimizer."

Also use -flto=auto instead of -flto=jobserver, as it's not guaranteed
that every buildsystem uses +$(MAKE) correctly.
