binutils: drop overly strict conflicts for assembler/linker (#23122)
This has been checked with gcc on ubuntu 16.04, which ships binutils 2.26 by
default, using spack's binutils 2.36. Only the combination +gas and ~ld
seems to trigger this incompatibility with debug symbols (gcc -g -O2
main.c fails with the error in the comment above the conflict)
