Hoa Nguyen 1d1cba297b scons: Add an option to reduce memory usage of ld (#601) ...

Linking the gem5 binary consists of linking numerous object files. By
default, ld optimizes for speed over for memory consumption [1]. This
leads to the huge memory consumption of gem5 at the linking stage.

This patch adds an option to add the `--no-keep-memory` flag to ld.
According to the documentation [1], this flag optimizes the memory usage
of ld.
