The Firefox (and Thunderbird) Windows builds produce a warning approx 300 times:

lld-link: warning: ignoring unknown argument '-RELEASE'

The -RELEASE argument gets added to LDFLAGS by old-configure.in (and in the js old-configure.in) and appears to be a vestige from the days of using MSVC and its LINK.EXE.

-RELEASE is not supported by lld-link. There is a bug filed in the LLVM Bugzilla instance by RyanVM, but nothing has happened with it.

This fixes several warnings from clang-cl/lld-link when building Firefox.
-RELEASE is not supported by lld-link.
