[lld-link] preserve @llvm.used symbols in LTO

Summary:
We translate @llvm.used to COFF by generating /include directives
in the .drectve section. However, in LTO links, this happens after
directives have already been processed, so the new directives do
not take effect. This change marks @llvm.used symbols as GCRoots
so that they are preserved as intended.

Fixes PR40733.
