The flang driver was silently ignoring the `main()` function in `Fortran_main.a` for entry into the Fortran program unit if an external `main()` as supplied (e.g., via cross-language linkage with Fortran and C/C++).  This PR fixes this by making sure that the linker always pulls in the `main()` definition from `Fortran_main.a` and consequently fails due to multiple definitions of the same symbol if another object file also has a definition of `main()`.
