scripts/faddr2line: Use LLVM addr2line and readelf if LLVM=1

GNU utilities cannot necessarily parse objects built by LLVM, which can
result in confusing errors when using 'faddr2line':

$ CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux do_one_initcall+0xf4/0x260
aarch64-linux-gnu-addr2line: vmlinux: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn'
aarch64-linux-gnu-addr2line: DWARF error: invalid or unhandled FORM value: 0x25
do_one_initcall+0xf4/0x260:
aarch64-linux-gnu-addr2line: vmlinux: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn'
aarch64-linux-gnu-addr2line: DWARF error: invalid or unhandled FORM value: 0x25
$x.73 at main.c:?

Although this can be worked around by setting CROSS_COMPILE to "llvm=-",
it's cleaner to follow the same syntax as the top-level Makefile and
accept LLVM= as an indication to use the llvm- tools, optionally
specifying their location or specific version number.
