```
link.Elf: check files in archives for ELF magic

Apparently raw LLVM IR Bitcode files ("Bitstreams") may appear in
archives with LTO enabled. I observed this in the wild on
Chimera Linux.

I'm not yet sure if it's in scope for Zig to support these special
archives, but we should at least give a correct error message.
