Rationale for this change

We're currently using the mold linker only on a couple of C++ builds. This PR uses it in more builds to get faster link times and thus faster CI builds.

Are these changes tested?

Yes, by CI builds.

Are there any user-facing changes?

No.

…1247 (#50033)

### Rationale for this change
Fixes #49767 - intermittent SIGSEGV in the ODBC Linux CI job, the crash occurs during `_dl_relocate_object` before `main()` : #49767 (comment)

apt ships mold 2.30.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat'.
mold 2.30.0 has a non-determinism bug in section placement that causes this crash ([rui314/mold#1247](rui314/mold#1247)). Fixed upstream in [mold 2.31.0](https://github.com/rui314/mold/releases/tag/v2.31.0).

### What changes are included in this PR?
Disable mold on Ubuntu 24.04 in `ubuntu-24.04-cpp.dockerfile` by setting `ARROW_USE_MOLD=OFF`.
Re-enable if apt mold reaches 2.31+ - note that Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble Numbat' might never update to 2.31+ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+source/mold - its mold release is over 2 years old.

A follow-up issue tracking apt mold updates and other CI jobs using mold (more added with #49898/#49899) will be opened separately.

### Are these changes tested?
Yes, ODBC Linux job runs complete successfully on fork: [1st](https://github.com/tadeja/arrow/actions/runs/26389905866/job/77676883090), [2nd](https://github.com/tadeja/arrow/actions/runs/26389905866/job/77684025003) , [3rd](https://github.com/tadeja/arrow/actions/runs/26389905866/job/77685765548) , [4th](https://github.com/tadeja/arrow/actions/runs/26389905866/job/77693037433) 

### Are there any user-facing changes?
No.
