Austin Clements 12ed0ddec1 cmd/link: use BestSpeed for DWARF compression
DWARF compression accounts for roughly 30% of the linker's time. This
CL switches from DefaultCompression to BestSpeed, which virtually
eliminates this time. This roughly halves the overhead of handling
DWARF in the linker:

name \ time/op         nodwarf     dwarf        dwarf-speed
BuildCmdGoAll          10.0s ±11%   10.6s ± 5%   10.8s ± 5%
             nodwarf                  +6.41%       +8.03%
               dwarf                                 ~
LinkCmdGo              626ms ± 5%  1096ms ± 2%   860ms ± 2%
             nodwarf                 +75.17%      +37.36%
               dwarf                              -21.59%

Previously, enabling DWARF had a 75% overhead in link time for cmd/go.
This change reduces this overhead to 37% (a 22% reduction).

The effect on binary size is minimal compared to DefaultCompression,
and still substantially better than no compression:

             cmd/go bytes
nodwarf      10106953
dwarf        12159049 nodwarf+20%
dwarf-speed  12408905 nodwarf+23%
dwarf-nozlib 17766473 nodwarf+76%

Updates #26318.
