[PATCH 0/2] Fully support standalone Clang/LLVM toolchains

This patch series is comprised of two parts.

The first patch adds build system support for using Clang and LLVM
binutils, provided your Clang is able to locate a libgcc.a in its search
path.

However, pure LLVM toolchains do not use libgcc, they use compiler-rt
(libclang_rt.builtins.<arch>.a). We could change the Makefile to not
hard-code -lgcc and instead use -print-libgcc-file-name, but that still
requires a bare metal compiler-rt built for the right -march/-mabi to be
present, which is often not the case. Moreover, we need very little from
libgcc/compiler-rt; RV64 needs nothing, and RV32 only needs 64-bit
division. Thus, the second patch vendors part of FreeBSD's libquad and
stops linking against libgcc entirely, allowing OpenSBI to be built with
just a cross-compiler. This means that building with any distro-provided
LLVM just works, as does compiling with the system Clang compiler and
LLD linker on FreeBSD without any external packages needed (beyond GNU
make).
