[release-branch.go1.21] cmd/link: split text sections for arm 32-bit

This CL is a roll-forward (tweaked slightly) of CL 467715, which
turned on text section splitting for GOARCH=arm. The intent is to
avoid recurrent problems with external linking where there is a
disagreement between the Go linker and the external linker over
whether a given branch will reach. In the past our approach has been
to tweak the reachability calculations slightly to try to work around
potential linker problems, but this hasn't proven to be very robust;
section splitting seems to offer a better long term fix.

Updates #58425.
Fixes #63317.
