ARC: build: Try to guess CROSS_COMPILE with cc-cross-prefix
For a long time we used to hard-code CROSS_COMPILE prefix for ARC until it started to cause problems, so we decided to solely rely on CROSS_COMPILE externally set by a user: commit 40660f1f ("ARC: build: Don't set CROSS_COMPILE in arch's Makefile"). While it works perfectly fine for build-systems where the prefix gets defined anyways for us human beings it's quite an annoying requirement especially given most of time the same one prefix "arc-linux-" is all what we need. It looks like finally we're getting the best of both worlds: 1. W/o cross-toolchain we still may install headers, build .dtb etc 2. W/ cross-toolchain get the kerne built with only ARCH=arc Inspired by [1] & [2].
