Remove references to gccld and gccas, adjusting the documentation to

mention llvm-ld and opt instead (if appropriate).

-      <dd>This tool is invoked by the <tt>llvm-gcc</tt> frontend as the 
-      "assembler" part of the compiler.  This tool actually assembles LLVM 
-      assembly to LLVM bytecode, performs a variety of optimizations, and 
-      outputs LLVM bytecode.  Thus when you invoke 
-      <tt>llvm-gcc -c x.c -o x.o</tt>, you are causing <tt>gccas</tt> to be 
-      run, which writes the <tt>x.o</tt> file (which is an LLVM bytecode file 
-      that can be disassembled or manipulated just like any other bytecode 
-      file).  The command line interface to <tt>gccas</tt> is designed to be 
-      as close as possible to the <b>system</b> `<tt>as</tt>' utility so that 
-      the gcc frontend itself did not have to be modified to interface to

-      <dd><tt>gccld</tt> links together several LLVM bytecode files into one 
-      bytecode file and does some optimization.  It is the linker invoked by 
-      the GCC frontend when multiple .o files need to be linked together.  
-      Like <tt>gccas</tt>, the command line interface of <tt>gccld</tt> is 
-      designed to match the system linker, to aid interfacing with the GCC
