cmd/link: do not add __image_base__ and _image_base__ if external linker

The symbols get in a way when using external linker. They are
not associated with a section. And linker fails when
generating relocations for them.

__image_base__ and _image_base__ have been added long time ago.
I do not think they are needed anymore. If I delete them, all
tests still PASS. I tried going back to the commit that added
them to see if I can reproduce original error, but I cannot
build it. I don't have hg version of go repo, and my gcc is
complaining about cc source code.

I wasted too much time with this, so I decided to leave them only
for internal linker. That is what they were originally added for.

For #10776.
