Make the bloom filter a bit larger.

I created https://reviews.llvm.org/D42202 to see how large the bloom
filter should be. With that patch, I tested various bloom filter sizes
with the following commands:

  $ cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DLLVM_ENABLE_LLD=true \
    -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='clang;lld' -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON \
    -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS=-Wl,-bloom-filter-bits=<some integer> \
    ../llvm-project/llvm
  $ rm -f $(find . -name \*.so.7.0.0svn)
  $ ninja lld
  $ LD_BIND_NOW=1 perf stat bin/ld.lld

Here is the result:

  -bloom-filter-bits=8   0.220351609 seconds
  -bloom-filter-bits=10  0.217146597 seconds
  -bloom-filter-bits=12  0.206870826 seconds
  -bloom-filter-bits=16  0.209456312 seconds
  -bloom-filter-bits=32  0.195092075 seconds

Currently we allocate 8 bits for a symbol, but according to the above
result, that number is not optimal. Even though the numbers follow the
diminishing return rule, the point where a marginal improvement becomes
too small is not -bloom-filter-bits=8 but 12. So this patch sets it to 12.
