Add basic options for Clang such as --target, --prefix, --gcc-toolchain,
-no-integrated-as to a single variable CLANG_FLAGS.

So this will expand later now, is this ok?

CLANG_FLAGS is expanded here because KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_AFLAGS
are defined by using :=

So, it should be OK, but turning CLANG_FLAGS into a simple variable
will be a little more efficient since $(call cc-option, -no-integrated-as)
is evaluated just once.

(Or, this cc-option may not be necessary any longer.)

Will send v2.


Thanks.

If the ultimate goal is not evaluate cc-option more than once,
removing cc-option from both KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_AFLAGS for clang
is the better approach; we always want those for clang
unconditionally. And if you by chance have an ancient version of clang
that doesn't support those flags, you wont be able to compile a kernel
anyways.  Eventually we want to get Clang's integrated assembler in
shape to be used to assemble the kernel, but I think we're a ways off
there still.
