'cc-option' will be the most frequently used macro.  It evaluates to 'y'
if the given argument is supported by the compiler, or 'n' otherwise.

Changes in v2:

This should be fine since most cc-option uses are quite simple. The
specialized per-arch and other-flag-dependency checks can just
continue to live in Makefile if we actually need them.

Some other tests (e.g. scripts/*-stack-protector.sh) also pass -S and
-O0 and stuff to speed things up. Feels like that could lead to
gotchas though.

-S does help a bit at least:

    $ time gcc -c -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null
    real 0m0.020s
    user 0m0.013s
    sys 0m0.007s

    $ time gcc -S -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null
    real 0m0.012s
    user 0m0.009s
    sys 0m0.003s
