Modify configure to allow --cc=clang and a cross-prefix to be specified
together (as well as --cflags). This allows compiling with clang, but
using cross binutils for everything else, including the linker. So far
tested on riscv 32- and 64-bit and aarch64 (with some hacks to the code
to get it to compile - which is why there's no gitlab-ci patch for aarch64
in this series). I suspect it should work for other architectures too.

v3:
 - Add README patch for cross-compiling, clang, and cross-clang [Nick]
 - Add comment to the commenting-out of mstrict-align [Nick]
 - Add the reason to ignore warnings vs. fix code to commit message of
   patch2
 - Picked up Nick's tags
v2:
 - fix building with clang and --config-efi by suppressing a warning
 - added riscv clang efi build to CI
 - picked up Thomas's tags

Andrew Jones (5):
  riscv: Drop mstrict-align
  Makefile: Prepare for clang EFI builds
  configure: Support cross compiling with clang
  riscv: gitlab-ci: Add clang build tests
  README: Add cross and clang recipes
