configure: Improve usermode relocation linker option probe
The probe we do to determine what flags to use to make the usermode
executables use a non-default text address has some flaws:
* we run it even if we're not building the user binaries
* we don't expect "ld --verbose" to fail
The combination of these two results in a harmless but
ugly "ld: unknown option: --verbose" message when running
configure on OSX.
Improve the probe to only run when we need it and to fail
nicely when even the backstop 'ld --verbose' approach fails.
