Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#29185: build: remove --enable-lto

2d1b1c7dae build: remove --enable-lto (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  This has outlived its usefulness, doesn't gel well with newer compilers & `-flto` related options, i.e thin vs full, or `=auto`, and having `-flto` as the only option means that sometimes this just needs to be worked around, i.e in oss-fuzz:
  https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/blob/master/projects/bitcoin-core/build.sh.

  While it was convenient when `-flto` was newer, support for `-flto` is now in all compilers we use, and there's also no-longer any real need for us to treat `-flto` different to any other optimization option.

  Remove it, to remove build complexity, and so there's no need to port a similar option to CMake.

  Note that the LTO option remains in depends, because we still a way to build packages that have LTO specific patches/options.
