Continue with the characterization testing idioms begun in
c70484454f, but this time for unit tests.

For static builds, we need to propagate all the static library
dependencies to the link of the program. E.g. if libstore-tests-exe
depends on libnixstore-tests, and libnixstore-tests depends on
libstore, then libstore-tests-exe needs to link against libstore.
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/209007480
gives 2-5% performance improvement across a board of tests.
LTO is broken when using clang; some libs link fine while others crash
the linker with a segfault in the llvm linker plugin. 🙁
It's a second attempt to merge the change. Previous attempt
was reverted in b976b34a5b.
Since then underlying failure exposed by original change was
fixed by https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5354.
Below goes description of original change:
The link failure happens on a system with stable nix-2.3.15
installed in /usr/lib64 (it's libutil.so API differs from master):
```
LANG=C make V=1
g++ -o /home/slyfox/dev/git/nix/src/libstore/libnixstore.so \
-shared -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,--no-copy-dt-needed-entries \
src/libstore/binary-cache-store.o ... src/libstore/uds-remote-store.o \
-lsqlite3 -lcurl -lsodium -pthread -ldl -lseccomp -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,-soname=libnixstore.so
-Wl,-rpath,/home/slyfox/dev/git/nix/src/libutil -Lsrc/libutil -lnixutil
ld: src/libstore/binary-cache-store.o: in function `nix::BinaryCacheStore::BinaryCacheStore(
std::map<std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, ...
nix/src/libstore/binary-cache-store.cc:30: undefined reference to `nix::readFile(
std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)' ...
...
```
This happens due to `-L/usr/lib64 -Lsrc/libutil` search path ordering.
The change turns it into `-Lsrc/libutil -L/usr/lib64`.
Closes: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3087

autotools-based systems usually allow user to
append own LDFLAGS like
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=gnu"
at ./configure stage
This change plumbs LDFLAGS through similar to existing CXXFLAGS variable.
