cmake: use -flto=auto compiler flag when supported

Use -flto=auto compiler flag when supported, this silence this
GCC warning:

> lto-wrapper: warning: using serial compilation of # LTRANS jobs

This also greatly speeds-up the linkage time as it enables LTO
multithreading in GCC (either by using Make jobserver if detected,
either by detecting CPU cores).

Also always set LTO if enabled.
