Take LINKER_FREEBSD_VERSION from numerical field after dash

Description

Take LINKER_FREEBSD_VERSION from numerical field after dash

Summary:
With COMPILER_FREEBSD_VERSION, we use a numeric value that we bump each
time we make a change that requires re-bootstrapping, but with the
linker variant, we instead take the entire part after "FreeBSD", as in
this example version output:

LLD 9.0.1 (FreeBSD c1a0a213378a458fbea1a5c77b315c7dce08fd05-1300006) (compatible with GNU linkers)

E.g., LINKER_FREEBSD_VERSION is currently being set to
"c1a0a213378a458fbea1a5c77b315c7dce08fd05-1300006". This means that
*any* new upstream lld version will cause re-bootstrapping.

We should only look at the numerical field we append after a dash
instead. This review attempts to make it so.

The only thing I am not happy about is the post-processing of awk output
in Makefile.inc1. I notice that our awk does not have gensub(), so it
can't substitute a numbered sub-regex with \1, \2, etc. Suggestions
welcome. :)
