From: Peter Tatrai <peter.tatrai.ext@siemens.com>

Use WRAPPER_TARGET_EXTRALD to pass '-lz -lzstd' to the target linker wrapper,

Rust's internal LLVM requires zlib and zstd compression libraries when
building rustc_codegen_llvm and other compiler components.
Without these dependencies, building Rust for PowerPC target fails
with linker errors:

  error: linking with `target-rust-ccld` failed: exit status: 1
  = note: undefined reference to `compress2'
  = note: undefined reference to `uncompress'
  = note: undefined reference to `ZSTD_decompress'
  = note: undefined reference to `ZSTD_isError'
  = note: undefined reference to `ZSTD_compress2'
  = note: undefined reference to `crc32'

This manifested in oe-selftest failure on qemuppc:
  oe-selftest -r rust.RustSelfTestSystemEmulated.test_rust

Fix rust-common.bbclass wrapper generation to properly split EXTRALD flags
into separate arguments (extend instead of append), making the wrapper
mechanism work correctly for multi-flag values like '-lz -lzstd'.
