tools/bpf: Turn on llvm alu32 attribute by default
LLVM alu32 was introduced in LLVM7: https://reviews.llvm.org/rL325987 https://reviews.llvm.org/rL325989 Experiments showed that in general performance is better with alu32 enabled: https://lwn.net/Articles/775316/ This patch turns on alu32 with no-flavor test_progs which is tested most often. The flavor test at no_alu32/test_progs can be used to test without alu32 enabled. The Makefile check for whether LLVM supports '-mattr=+alu32 -mcpu=v3' is removed as LLVM7 should be available for recent distributions and also latest LLVM is preferred to run BPF selftests. Note that jmp32 is checked by -mcpu=probe and will be enabled if the host kernel supports it.
