cmd/vet/all: use -dolinkobj=false to speed up runs

When running on the host platform,
the standard library has almost certainly already been built.
However, all other platforms will probably need building.
Use the new -dolinkobj=false flag to cmd/compile
to only build the export data instead of doing a full compile.

Having partial object files could be confusing for people
doing subsequent cross-compiles, depending on what happens with #18369.
However, cmd/vet/all will mainly be run by builders
and core developers, who are probably fairly well-placed
to handle any such confusion.

This reduces the time on my machine for a cold run of
'go run main.go -all' by almost half:

benchmark           old ns/op        new ns/op        delta
BenchmarkVetAll     240670814551     130784517074     -45.66%
