[release-branch.go1.15] doc/go1.15: clarify external linking can still be used for building PIE
In Go 1.15 we switched the default linking mode for PIE on
Linux/AMD64 and Linux/ARM64 to internal linking. Clarify that
the previous behavior (external linking) can still be used with
a flag.
Updates #40719.
