[PATCH 2/2] perf python: don't run the linker for clang feature tests

[Ahelenia Ziemiańska]

This, for me, slightly-more-than-halves the time it takes to run
  for a in "-mcet" "-fcf-protection" "-fstack-clash-protection" \
           "-fstack-protector-strong" "-fno-semantic-interposition" \
           "-ffat-lto-objects"; do
    cc "$a" ../build/feature/test-hello.c -o /dev/null; done
from just over 600ms.
