www-client/firefox: add explicit Clang and LTO support
- Set USE=lto to enable Link Time Optimization (LTO). It works with
either GCC or Clang.
- When you want to use Clang to build Firefox you now have to set
USE=clang. If not set, GCC will be used.
- Using Clang will require lld linker provided by sys-devel/lld.
