binutils: add version 2.44

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2025-02/msg00001.html

Add the new version rebasing the patches we carry on top. Drop patches
to gold, since this linker has been removed from upstream.

Add a new Kconfig entry that removes visibility of enabling gold linker
when selecting binutils version >= 2.44.
