crater: test enabling MCP510

Tests pass at stage1 and 2 with the `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` target switched. CI passes in #113382 with most `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` builders enabled. Bootstrap and the perf collector work.

The crater queue is about to be empty, so it's a good time to do another run with this linker configuration and see if anything changed since the previous run. Surely, some bug-for-bug bfd compatibility differences will remain, but it will good to check with the latest lld anyways.

Note for anyone looking at this PR coming from the crater queue: this is intended to be a low-priority run. If it hasn't started and you need your run started before this one, go ahead and bump your own priority above this.
