[Bug ld/10489] New: rpath-link separator and windows

As documented the colon is a separator of paths for the rpath-link option but
this prevents i386-mingw32msvc hosed cross linkers from specifying paths with
drive letters.  Since rpath-link is only used at link time, ld could be modified
to accept a list of directories separated by the host PATH_SEPARATOR instead of
using the target's rpath separator.

AFAICT this would only effect the behavior of Windows hosted cross-linkers.

I see now that other places in the binutils handle a letter followed by a colon
as a drive specifier which is a better way of handling the rpath-link strings
