configure: Add --image-base check for non-i386

Configure check grub_PROG_OBJCOPY_ABSOLUTE is run for all non-Apple
targets. With ld.lld-21, the check fails for addresses below image base
address (which ld.lld-21 assumes is 0x200000).

Fix by checking if linker support --image-base flag, and if it does,
include "--image-base 0" to TARGET_IMG_BASE_LDOPT.

The AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG macro has been added to avoid a dependency on
autoconf-archive.

Note: I tried this approach with i386-pc, but I ended up with a GRUB
image that failed to boot correctly.

# ===========================================================================
#
# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG(FLAG, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE], [EXTRA-FLAGS], [INPUT])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Check whether the given FLAG works with the linker or gives an error.
# (Warnings, however, are ignored)
#
# ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
# success/failure.
#
# If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the linker's default flags
# when the check is done. The check is thus made with the flags: "LDFLAGS
# EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG". This can for example be used to force the linker to
# issue an error when a bad flag is given.
#
# INPUT gives an alternative input source to AC_LINK_IFELSE.
#
# NOTE: Implementation based on AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION. Please keep this
# macro in sync with AX_CHECK_{PREPROC,COMPILE}_FLAG.
