Use of -dead_strip_dylibs by default makes the -framework flag appear broken.

Hi Travis,

This behavior was introduced in
https://phabricator.haskell.org/rGHCb592bd98ff25730bbe3c13d6f62a427df8c78e28
to mitigate macOS's very restrictive linker command limit (which limits
the number of direct dependencies that an object may have; see #14444).

Perhaps it would help if we omitted -dead_strip_dylibs when doing the
final link of an executable? This would allow the user to specify the
-framework flags during the final link, (presumably) ensuring that they
are linked in untouched.

I'm sure Moritz will have insightful to add here.

Cheers,

- Ben
