bpfilter: check if $(CC) can link static libc in Kconfig

On Fedora, linking static glibc requires the glibc-static RPM package,
which is not part of the glibc-devel package.

CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK does not check the capability of static linking,
so you can enable CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH, then fail to build:

    HOSTLD  net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Add CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK_STATIC, and make CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH depend
on it.
