[PATCH v2 1/4] perf python: make clang feature detection work

[Ahelenia Ziemiańska]

As it stands, it's /entirely/ broken: cc_options is pasted together
with the tested option /as a single argument/.

For example, for CC='cc -O3', this will run (the equivalent of)
  cc "-O3 -mcet" ../build/feature/test-heello.c
  cc "-O3 -fcf-protection" ../build/feature/test-heello.c
  ..
which, obviously, doesn't work, and has /never/ worked. The commit
referenced in Fixes: is just the first one that uses this approach.

Instead of emulating shell tokenisation and turning tokens into words
badly (well, we barely do it, which is even more alarming. the only way
I can foresee this having ever worked for anyone is if it, very literally,
returned False for /every/ clang_has_option() invocation with
non-single-token $CC, which, I mean, sure, but it means that every clang
build like this has all hardening off), just... run these through the
shell, like they will be at point-of-use anyway.

As a demo, with CC='/tmp/cc -O3' and /tmp/cc consisting of
  #!/bin/sh
  echo "$*" | grep -qFe '-mcet' && printf 'CC:"%s"\n' "$@" "" > /dev/tty
  exec cc "$@"
before:
    AR      /mnt/filling/store/nabijaczleweli/code/linux/tools/perf/libsubcmd/libsubcmd.a
  CC:"-O3 -mcet"
  CC:"/mnt/filling/store/nabijaczleweli/code/linux/tools/build/feature/test-hello.c"
  CC:""
  CC:"-O3 -mcet"
  CC:"/mnt/filling/store/nabijaczleweli/code/linux/tools/build/feature/test-hello.c"
  CC:""
    LD      /mnt/filling/store/nabijaczleweli/code/linux/tools/perf/libbpf/staticobjs/libbpf-in.o
after:
    GEN     python/perf.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
  CC:"-O3"
  CC:"-mcet"
  CC:"/mnt/filling/store/nabijaczleweli/code/linux/tools/build/feature/test-hello.c"
  CC:""
  CC:"-O3"
  CC:"-mcet"
  CC:"/mnt/filling/store/nabijaczleweli/code/linux/tools/build/feature/test-hello.c"
  CC:""
    LD      /mnt/filling/store/nabijaczleweli/code/linux/tools/perf/libbpf/staticobjs/libbpf-in.o

 CC")
