Module cc_detect

C-compiler probing and detection.

This module will fill out the cc and cxx maps of Build by looking for C and C++ compilers for each target configured. A compiler is found through a number of vectors (in order of precedence)

1. Configuration via target.$target.cc in config.toml.
2. Configuration via target.$target.android-ndk in config.toml, if applicable
3. Special logic to probe on OpenBSD
4. The CC_$target environment variable.
5. The CC environment variable.
6. “cc”

Some of this logic is implemented here, but much of it is farmed out to the cc crate itself, so we end up having the same fallbacks as there. Similar logic is then used to find a C++ compiler, just some s/cc/c++/ is used.

It is intended that after this module has run no C/C++ compiler will ever be probed for. Instead the compilers found here will be used for everything.
