Description
Currently the only way to get `lld` is to install the entire `llvm` package. To make `lld` tenable to install in CI systems quickly we should add a new llvm subpackage to package lld.

Research direction
Start by examining the existing llvm package definition and how Mason declares subpackages. Add the lld subpackage so CI can install lld without the full llvm package. Done means the new package is available through Mason and its packaging checks pass.
