Generically determine the linker
Metadata
Current evaluation
Implemented generic core linker selection by resolving core-snap symlinks; merged via canonical/snapcraft#1170 (commit b19e9cf68).
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: Canonical Snapcraft PR #1170 implemented and merged the fix in commit b19e9cf68, which corrected symlink resolution for the core dynamic linker.

Issue body
Now that the core, core16 and core18 snap have relative symlinks from the main linker version into the actual linker, we can use the main entry point for the linker as the actual linker for snaps.
