Clang Driver: Use Apple ld64's new @response-file support.
In XCode 12, ld64 got support for @files, in addition to the old -filelist mechanism. Response files allow passing all command-line arguments to the linker via a file, rather than just filenames, and is therefore preferred. Because of the way response-file support is currently implemented as part of the Tool class in Clang, this change requires an ugly backdoor function to access Args. A follow-up commit fixes this, but I've ordered this change first, for easier backportability. I've added no tests here, because unfortunately, there don't appear to be _any_ response-file emission automated tests, and I don't see an obvious way to add them. I've tested that this change works as expected locally. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D82777
