[PATCH] perf build: Support llvm and clang support compiled in

[Thomas Richter]

Perf build suports llvm and clang support compiled in.
Test case 56 builtin clang support provides a test case
which is always skipped.

Link perf with the latest llvm and clang libraries and
enable this test case.

Use 'make LIBCLANGLLVM=1' to include this support.

Output before:
 # ./perf test 56
 56: builtin clang support                  :
 56.1: builtin clang compile C source to IR : Skip (not compiled in)
 56.2: builtin clang compile C source to ELF object: \
	 				Skip (not compiled in)

Output after:
 # ./perf test 56
 56: builtin clang support                          :
 56.1: builtin clang compile C source to IR         : Ok
 56.2: builtin clang compile C source to ELF object : Ok

This failed for:
```
  LINK    /tmp/perf/perf
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lclang-cpp: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
```

but adding the library directory fixed it:
