cmd/link: remove reading/processing of function Autom records

Remove linker reading and processing of automs (no longer needed, now
that the compiler is emitting R_USETYPE relocations on functions). So
as to avoid changing the object file format, the object still contains
a count of automs, but this count is required to be zero.

Updates #34554.
