Subject: [PATCH] [CMake] Detect properly new linker introduced in Xcode 15

[This linker](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-15-release-notes#Linking)
is functionally equivalent to the classic one (`ld64`) for build system
purposes -- in particular to enable the use of order files to link
`clang`.
For this reason, in addition to fixing the detection rename
`LLVM_LINKER_IS_LD64` to `LLVM_LINKER_IS_APPLE` to make the result of
such detection more clear -- this should not cause any issue to
downstream users, from a quick serch in
[Sourcegraph](https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+LLVM_LINKER_IS_LD64+lang:cmake+fork:no+-file:AddLLVM.cmake+-file:clang/tools/driver/CMakeLists.txt&patternType=standard&sm=1&groupBy=repo)
only Swift uses the value of this variable (which I will take care of
updating in due time).
