Similar to commit 28187dc8ebd9 ("ARM: 9025/1: Kconfig: CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
depends on !LD_IS_LLD"), ld.lld prior to 13.0.0 does not properly
support aarch64 big endian, leading to the following build error when
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is selected:

ld.lld: error: unknown emulation: aarch64linuxb

This has been resolved in LLVM 13. To avoid errors like this, only allow
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to be selected if using ld.bfd or ld.lld 13.0.0
and newer.

While we are here, the indentation of this symbol used spaces since its
introduction in commit a872013d6d03 ("arm64: kconfig: allow
CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to be selected"). Change it to tabs to be consistent with
kernel coding style.

LGTM, thanks for implementing BE support for aarch64 in LLD, Fangrui!
(And Nathan for the kernel patch+testing)

v1 -> v2:

* Conditionally disable CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for older versions of
  ld.lld now that proper support has been added to ld.lld 13+ (thanks to
  the quick work of Fangrui Song).

          Say Y if you plan on running a kernel with a big-endian userspace.
