x/build: add builder that tests usage of gccgo to bootstrap go gc #40875

@martisch

Description

@martisch

There have been issues now and in the past about bootstrapping Go gc from gccgo being broken #40855, #30771.

Documentation at https://golang.org/doc/install/source#bootstrapFromGccgo suggests that bootstraping from gccgo is supported.

If this is the case I suggest we add a builder for that. To not be blocked on ressources I would assume a build only linux/amd64 builder would suffice to catch bootstrap issues.
