Avoid adding builtin functions to `symbols.o`

We found performance regressions in #113923. The problem seems to be that `--gc-sections` does not remove these symbols. I tested that lld removes these symbols, but ld and gold do not.

I found that `used` adds symbols to `symbols.o` at 3e202ead60/compiler/rustc_codegen_ssa/src/back/linker.rs (L1786-L1791).
The PR removes builtin functions.

Note that under LTO, ld still preserves these symbols. (lld will still remove them.)

The first commit also fixes #118559. But I think the second commit also makes sense.
