Subject: [PATCH v6 2/3] Makefile: infer --target from ARCH for CC=clang

We get constant feedback that the command line invocation of make is too
long when compiling with LLVM. CROSS_COMPILE is helpful when a toolchain
has a prefix of the target triple, or is an absolute path outside of
$PATH.

Since a Clang binary is generally multi-targeted, we can infer a given
target from SRCARCH/ARCH.  If CROSS_COMPILE is not set, simply set
--target= for CLANG_FLAGS, KBUILD_CFLAGS, and KBUILD_AFLAGS based on
$SRCARCH.

Previously, we'd cross compile via:
$ ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1
Now:
$ ARCH=arm64 make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1

For native builds (not involving cross compilation) we now explicitly
specify a target triple rather than rely on the implicit host triple.

Changes v5 -> v6:
* Use indirection as per Linus. We now have CLANG_TARGET_FLAGS and a
  few variables suffixed with $SRCARCH.
* Add Linus' SB tag.
* Change hexagon target triple from -gnu to -musl.

Changes v3 -> v4:
* Reword commit message and oneline, as per Nathan.
* Drop documentation change (it's the next patch, could be squashed in,
  I guess).
* Drop LLVM_IAS=1 requirement, as per Masahiro.
* Carry Arnd's and Nathan's AB/RB/TB tags, confirmed OK on IRC+Discord.

Changes v2 -> v3:
* Drop check/requirement for LLVM=1, as per Masahiro.
* Change oneliner from LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 to CC=clang LLVM_IAS=1.
* Don't carry forward Nathan's RB/TB tags. :( Sorry Nathan, but thank
  you for testing+reviewing v2.
* Update wording of docs slightly.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* Fix typos in commit message as per Geert and Masahiro.
* Use SRCARCH instead of ARCH, simplifying x86 handling, as per
  Masahiro. Add his sugguested by tag.
* change commit oneline from 'drop' to 'infer.'
* Add detail about explicit host --target and relationship of ARCH to
  SRCARCH, as per Masahiro.

Changes RFC -> v1:
* Rebase onto linux-kbuild/for-next
* Keep full target triples since missing the gnueabi suffix messes up
  32b ARM. Drop Fangrui's sugguested by tag. Update commit message to
  drop references to arm64.
* Flush out TODOS.
* Add note about -EL/-EB, -m32/-m64.
* Add note to Documentation/.
