[ThinLTO] Allow indexing to request backend to ignore the module

Summary:
Gold plugin does not add pass to ThinLTO modules without useful symbols.
In this case ThinLTO can't create corresponding index file and some features, like CFI,
cannot be processes by backed correctly without index.
Given that we don't need the backed output we can request it to avoid
processing the module. This is implemented by this patch using new
"SkipModuleByDistributedBackend" flag.
