Subject: [PATCH] perf build: Fix broken feature check for clang due to C++ standard and changed library packaging

Perf build auto-detects features and packages already installed
for its build. This is done in directory tools/build/feature. This
directory contains small sample programs. When they successfully
compile the necessary prereqs in form of libraries and header
files are present.

Such a check is also done for clang. And this check fails.

Fix this and update to the latest C++ standard and use the
new library provided by clang (which contains new packaging)
see this link for reference:
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Stop-Shipping-Individual-Component-Libraries-In-clang-lib-Package

Output before:
 # rm -f ./test-clang.bin; make test-clang.bin; ./test-clang.bin; \
	ll test-clang.make.output
 g++  -MD -Wall -Werror -o test-clang.bin test-clang.cpp \
	 	> test-clang.make.output 2>&1 -std=gnu++14 \
	-I/usr/include 		\
	-L/usr/lib64		\
	-Wl,--start-group -lclangBasic -lclangDriver	\
	  -lclangFrontend -lclangEdit -lclangLex	\
	  -lclangAST -Wl,--end-group 			\
	-lLLVM-16	\
			\
	> test-clang.make.output 2>&1
 make: *** [Makefile:356: test-clang.bin] Error 1
 -bash: ./test-clang.bin: No such file or directory
 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 252041 Jul 12 09:56 test-clang.make.output
 #

File test-clang.make.output contains many lines of unreferenced
symbols.

Output after:
 # rm -f ./test-clang.bin; make test-clang.bin; ./test-clang.bin; \
	cat test-clang.make.output
 g++  -MD -Wall -Werror -o test-clang.bin test-clang.cpp \
	 > test-clang.make.output 2>&1 -std=gnu++17	\
	-I/usr/include 		\
	-L/usr/lib64		\
	-Wl,--start-group -lclang-cpp -Wl,--end-group	\
	-lLLVM-16	\
			\
	> test-clang.make.output 2>&1
