Rebuild Binutils 2.38 using all modern features

- Rather than using part-by-part build of Binutils, use autogen and full
  ./configure, make build.
- Enable some other modern features, including the gold linker, threaded
  linking and 64-bit linking.
- This allows GCC 12 to build unhindered by binutils.

 the top-level configure to build the project. We do not use GCC's bootstrap mode,
 where GCC is recompiled with itself after being built, since we're just going

+binutils 2.38 (pass 2)
+======================
+
+We recompile Binutils with the full intended autogen top-level build system,
+instead of the subdirectory build system used before. This creates a binutils
+that functions completely correctly for the build of GCC 12 (eg, fixes the
+mistaken plugin loading support). Other modern features are added, including;
+
+* threaded linking
+* 64-bit linking on 32-bit x86
+* the modern, rewritten gold linker used by some distributions
