Check*CompilerFlag: Revert to previous method used to pass flags (#15641)
Since commit v3.3.0-rc1~397^2 (Check*CompilerFlag: Refactor method used to pass flags, 2015-02-24) these check modules pass the flags to the compiler front-end during linking as well as during compilation. This breaks checks for flags like '-x c++' that are meant only for the compilation step. Revert the change and add a test covering a compiler-only flag.
