REVISION SUMMARY
    kstars appends '-Wl,-z,nodump' to the linker flags, which is not supported 
    by lld>=7 (previous versions just discareded unkonwn flags).
    
    Add an ecm module to check whether a linker flag is supported.
    
    Usage:
    ``` 
          include(ECMCheckLinkerFlags)
          [...]
          # Check for nodump support
          SET(NODUMP_FLAGS "-Wl,-z,nodump")
          ecm_check_linker_flags("${NODUMP_FLAGS}" NODUMP_SUPPORTED)
          if (NODUMP_SUPPORTED)
              SET(SEC_LINK_FLAGS "${SEC_LINK_FLAGS} ${NODUMP_FLAGS}")
          endif ()
     ```
