[release-branch.go1.18] cmd/link: preserve symbol attributes when cloning to external

There are some symbol attributes that are encoded in the object
file. Currently, they are lost when cloning a symbol to external.
Copy them over.

Also delete CopyAttributes as it is no longer called anywhere.

For #53107. Backporting this CL as the fix of #53107 depends on
it.
