more prep updates for mold linker support in 123.09beta01

- mold is a faster drop-in replacement for existing Unix linkers - GNU gold, LLVM lld and GNU bfd to potentially improve source compilation times
- update custom mold linker RPM version to 1.1 https://github.com/rui314/mold
- prep for optional mold linker support to addons/ffmpeg.sh via custom settings file you create at /etc/centminmod/ffmpeg_config.inc with variable FFMPEG_LDMOLD='y'
