Make "Assemble stage1 compiler" orders of magnitude faster
This used to take upwards of 5 seconds for me locally. I found that the culprit was copying the downloaded LLVM shared object:
```
[22:28:03] Install "/home/jnelson/rust-lang/rust/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ci-llvm/lib/libLLVM-14-rust-1.62.0-nightly.so" to "/home/jnelson/rust-lang/rust/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libLLVM-14-rust-1.62.0-nightly.so"
[22:28:09] c Sysroot { compiler: Compiler { stage: 1, host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu(x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) } }
```
It turned out that `install()` used full copies unconditionally. Change it to try using a hard-link before falling back to copying.
