Merge bitcoin#18003: build: remove --large-address-aware linker flag
acd644b build: remove --large-address-aware linker flag (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This flag was used when building 32-bit Windows executables, which we no-longer
do, and is not accepted by the linker for any of the hosts we currently build
for. i.e:
```bash
checking whether the linker accepts -Wl,--large-address-aware... no
```
--large-address-aware
If given, the appropriate bit in the "Characteristics" field of the COFF
header is set to indicate that this executable supports virtual addresses
greater than 2 gigabytes. This should be used in conjunction with the /3GB
or /USERVA=value megabytes switch in the "[operating systems]" section of
the BOOT .INI. Otherwise, this bit has no effect. [This option is specific
to PE targeted ports of the linker]
You can check that the appropriate bit in the COFF header of our 64-bit
Windows binaries is still be set using dumpbin. i.e:
```powershell
dumpbin /headers .\bitcoind.exe
FILE HEADER VALUES
<snip>
26 characteristics
Executable
Line numbers stripped
Application can handle large (>2GB) addresses
```
