scons: Enable LTO for opt, perf and prof builds.
The name of the build is opt, so it should be fully optomized. Also, the
fast build, the only one with LTO historically, is dangerous to use
since it disables many error checks. I personally run gem5 many times
while developing, iterating and trying to fix bugs, and so want it to
run quickly then too, not just the final time when collecting results.
Also, since they mirror the opt build, the perf and prof builds also
have LTO options added.
This has the nice side effect of speeding up the build time of build/X86
significantly (6:20 -> 4:27) due to parallelization of the link, and
reduces the size of the build/X86 directory (with debug compression
enabled) from 3.4GB to 2.8GB.
The size of build/X86/python/_m5 is still 1.6GB, so still more than half
of the total size of build/X86.
