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.

V2: Add Library patch before -lclang-cpp

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

Build tested with LLVM 14 and 15 using:
BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 LIBCLANGLLVM=1 LLVM_CONFIG=llvm-config-14
BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 LIBCLANGLLVM=1 LLVM_CONFIG=llvm-config-15

Tested-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
