compilers: Move lto args into compiler class

There are two problems, one is that it assumes -flto is the argument
to do LTO/WPO, which isn't true of ICC and MSVC (and presumably)
others. It's also incorrect because it assumes that the compiler and
linker will always be the same, which isn't necessarily true. You
could combine GCC with Apple's linker, or clang with link.exe, which
use different arguments.
