initial support for clang compiler plugins
The plugin is intentionally built using a custom Makefile,
because it's used by gbuild, so I don't want to build the plugin
using gbuild too. It is also intentionally not placed under workdir/,
as that is cleaned by 'make clean', the plugin is cleaned only
by 'make distclean', so that cleaning it doesn't cause ccache misses.
No actual functionality in the plugin itself yet.
