Subject: kbuild: Fix clang/llvm build infra

Debian (and derived) distros ship their compilers as -$ver suffixed
binaries. For gcc it is sufficent to use:

 $ make CC=gcc-12

However, clang builds (esp. clang-lto) need a whole array of tools to be
exactly right, leading to unweildy stuff like:

 $ make CC=clang-13 LD=ld.lld=14 AR=llvm-ar-13 NM=llvm-nm-13 OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy-13 OBJDUMP=llvm-objdump-13 READELF=llvm-readelf-13 STRIP=llvm-strip-13 LLVM=1

which is, quite franktly, totally insane and unusable. Instead make
the CC variable DTRT, enabling one such as myself to use:

 $ make CC=clang-13

This also lets one quickly test different clang versions.
Additionally, also support path based LLVM suites like:

 $ make CC=/opt/llvm/bin/clang
