change ifunc assembly test to a link test
The test currently tests the binutils frontend support which passes for all versions of binutils we currently require (2.20+). It doesn't test the backend which is required for ifunc to actually work, and which most targets don't yet support. Change the assembly code so that when we link it, we get a file that has ifunc relocations if the backend supports it. That way we can test to see if binutils supports everything we need.
