Merge branch 'tools/bpf: Enable cross-building with clang'

Jean-Philippe Brucker says:

====================

Since v1 [1], I added Quentin's acks and applied Andrii's suggestions:
* Pass CFLAGS to libbpf link in patch 3
* Substitute CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS whole in HOST_CFLAGS to avoid accidents,
  patch 4

Add support for cross-building BPF tools and selftests with clang, by
passing LLVM=1 or CC=clang to make, as well as CROSS_COMPILE. A single
clang toolchain can generate binaries for multiple architectures, so
instead of having prefixes such as aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc, clang uses the
-target parameter: `clang -target aarch64-linux-gnu'.

Patch 1 adds the parameter in Makefile.include so tools can easily
support this. Patch 2 prepares for the libbpf change from patch 3 (keep
building resolve_btfids's libbpf in the host arch, when cross-building
the kernel with clang). Patches 3-6 enable cross-building BPF tools with
clang.
