tools: fix cross-compile var clobbering

Currently a number of Makefiles break when used with toolchains that
pass extra flags in CC and other cross-compile related variables (such
as --sysroot).

Thus we get this error when we use a toolchain that puts --sysroot in
the CC var:

  ~/src/linux/tools$ make iio
  [snip]
  iio_event_monitor.c:18:10: fatal error: unistd.h: No such file or directory
    #include <unistd.h>
             ^~~~~~~~~~

This occurs because we clobber several env vars related to
cross-compiling with lines like this:

  CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc

Although this will point to a valid cross-compiler, we lose any extra
flags that might exist in the CC variable, which can break toolchains
that rely on them (for example, those that use --sysroot).

This easily shows up using a Yocto SDK:

  $ . [snip]/sdk/environment-setup-cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

  $ echo $CC
  arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard
  -mcpu=cortex-a8
  --sysroot=[snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

  $ echo $CROSS_COMPILE
  arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-

  $ echo ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc
  krm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc

Although arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc is a cross-compiler, we've lost the
--sysroot and other flags that enable us to find the right libraries to
link against, so we can't find unistd.h and other libraries and headers.
Normally with the --sysroot flag we would find unistd.h in the sdk
directory in the sysroot:

  $ find [snip]/sdk/sysroots -path '*/usr/include/unistd.h'
  [snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/unistd.h

The perf Makefile adds CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc if and only if CC is not
already set, and it compiles correctly with the above toolchain.

So, generalize the logic that perf uses in the common Makefile and
remove the manual CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc lines from each Makefile.

Note that this patch does not fix cross-compile for all the tools (some
have other bugs), but it does fix it for all except usb and acpi, which
still have other unrelated issues.

I tested both with and without the patch on native and cross-build and
there appear to be no regressions.
