Patch to Makefile.rules to use llvm-link instead of llvm-ld.

"llvm-ld" was removed from LLVM tools, but Makefile.rules still tries to use it
through LLVMLD variable and some builds (e.g. VMKit) fail to build because of
this.
I made a patch that replaces the use of "llvm-ld" by "llvm-link" in
"Makefile.rules".
I am not sure if these tools are perfectly equivalent, but I can compile VMKit
using llvm-link successfully.
