Bug 1837086 - Properly pass -pie when linking. r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,sergesanspaille, a=dmeehan There was a syntax error introduced in bug 1796380 that removed the flag entirely. In practice, it didn't make a difference for us because clang now defaults to PIE, but it can make a difference in environments where the compiler is not using such a default. However, on both Darwin and WASI, clang complains the flag is unused, so we have to do something about it. Differential Revision: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D180279
