[release-branch.go1.24] Revert "cmd/go/internal/work: allow @ character in some -Wl, linker flags on darwin"

This reverts commit e3cd55e9.

This change introduced a security issue as @ flags are first resolved as
files by the darwin linker, before their meaning as flags, allowing the
flag filtering logic to be entirely bypassed.

Thanks to Juho Forsén for reporting this issue.

Fixes #71476
Fixes CVE-2025-22867
