gnu: binutils-gold: Inherit from binutils-next.

And reinstate tests on non-x86 architectures, as the past problems now appear
to be resolved.

* gnu/packages/base.scm (binutils-gold): Inherit from binutils-next.
[tests?]: Remove argument.
[inputs]: Remove gcc:lib, which is already included implicitly.
