PR oneapi-src#2100 changed the WIN32 check to check from `if(WIN32)` to checking if link.exe is used via `CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LINKER_ID`. This has two problems: - CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LINKER_ID is only supported starting with CMake 3.29, but UR still claims to CMake versions from 3.20 (`cmake_minimum_required` is called with this version). This results in the flag being silently dropped in earlier versions of CMake. - There are other linkers that also support this flag for example LLD. Using check_linker_flag resolves these issues without hard-coding a list of known linkers.
