[bug#47676] [PATCH] Add 'compiler-for-target' checker

[Maxime Devos]

Hi Guix,

This patch series adds a linter that detects "CC=gcc" and "CXX=g++"
in #:make-flags in the arguments field of a package.  This is incorrect
when cross-compiling; ,(string-append "CC=" (cc-for-target)) or similar
should be used instead.

Patch #1: detect "CC=gcc".
Patch #2: detect "CXX=g++".

Some complaints from the checker:
$ ./pre-inst-env guix lint -c "compiler-for-target"
> gnu/packages/admin.scm:3138:5: sunxi-tools@1.4.2: should use 'cc-for-target'

"make && make check TESTS=tests/lint.scm" succeeds.

Greetings,
