SCons: Refactor LTO options with `lto=<none|thin|full>`

Adds support for LTO on macOS and Android. We don't have much experience
with LTO on these platforms so for now we keep it disabled by default
even when `production=yes` is set.

Similarly for iOS where we ship object files for the user to link in
Xcode so LTO makes builds extremely slow to link.

`production=yes` defaults to full LTO.
ThinLTO is much faster for LLVM-based compilers but seems to produce
bigger binaries (at least for the Web platform).
