Fangrui Song 55fa315b03 [LLVMgold.so] -plugin-opt=save-temps: save combined module to .lto.o instead of .o ...

This matches LLD and fixes https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26262#c1

.o is a bad choice for save-temps output because it is easy to override the bitcode file (*.o)

```
 # Use bfd for the example, -fuse-ld=gold is similar.
clang -flto -c a.c  # generate bitcode file a.o
clang -fuse-ld=bfd -flto a.o -o a -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps  # override a.o

 # The user repeats the command but get surprised, because a.o is now a combined module.
clang -fuse-ld=bfd -flto a.o -o a -Wl,-plugin-opt=save-temps
```
