perf build: Support build with clang

Add support for building perf with clang. For cross compilation, the
Makefile dynamically selects target flag for corresponding arch.

This patch has been verified on x86_64 machine with Ubuntu distro, it
can build successfully for native target, and for cross building Arm64
and s390.

Example: native build on x86_64 / Ubuntu machine:

  $ HOSTCC=clang CC=clang CXX=clang++ make -C tools/perf

Example: cross building s390 target on x86_64 / Ubuntu machine:

  # Install x390x cross toolchain and headers
  $ sudo apt-get install gcc-s390x-linux-gnu g++-s390x-linux-gnu \
         libc6-dev-s390x-cross linux-libc-dev-s390x-cross

  # Build with clang
  $ HOSTCC=clang CC=clang CXX=clang++ \
    ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- \
    make -C tools/perf NO_LIBELF=1 NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 NO_LIBPYTHON=1
