build: Only replace
cl.exe
with clang-cl
for ARM64 Windows builds
When cross-compiling to Windows from Linux or similar, it's common to use the `clang-cl` driver from the LLVM toolchain which supports parsing `cl.exe`-like arguments. Ring however doesn't seem to compile for ARM64 Windows using `cl.exe`, and contains a `// FIXME`-style workaround to use `clang` to compile its C files instead. The command-line interface for `clang` isn't always compatible with that of `cl.exe` and `clang-cl`. There didn't seem to be any trouble with this yet, but when cross-compiling from Linux it's common to explicitly provide "sysroots" via `-vctoolsdir` and `-winsdkdir` in `CFLAGS`. In such a setup this workaround in `ring` would pass those arguments to `clang`, resulting in "unknown argument" errors. `cc-rs` can tell us exactly what compiler it found, and we can use this information to decide how to fill in this workaround. If the user was already compiling their code with `clang`, nothing has to be replaced. In the end, all this entails is changing the workaround to not compile with `clang`, but with `clang-cl` instead.
