Add compiling with clang as default.

[wieczorek1990]

Hello,

I just tried compiling vim with clang.
It is not stright forward.
Thought it should work like this:

gh repo clone vim/vim
cd ./vim/src/
CC=clang make
sudo make install

I added a script and modified Makefile, but in the end would like a simplier solution to use a different compiler.

Wouldn't bash be a more common choice?

[wieczorek1990]

Changed to sh.

This change is not backwards compatible, as not everyone will have the Clang toolchain installed in their environment.

[wieczorek1990]

Right.

[wieczorek1990]

Changed. Please look.

This is not needed and the provided shell script is trivial. When I am compiling locally, I typically modify the Makefile (as I often need to compile using different feature flags or test with different compilers) and this works just fine. However in your case, you can just use make <args> CC=clang

So what I wanted is:

gh repo clone vim/vim
cd ./vim/src/
make CC=clang

Anyway I am for scripts in bin for process related things.

Seems not to work with CC=clang make <args>.
