[PATCH v2 1/2] alpha: pass -Wa,-mev6 only when using GNU as

That flag exists to stop gas emulating instructions the assembler thinks
the target lacks.  It is a gas-only option, and LLVM's integrated
assembler does not emulate instructions in the first place, so nothing
is needed there.

Condition it on CONFIG_AS_IS_GNU rather than the compiler, so it is
still passed for clang builds using GNU as (LLVM_IAS=0) and omitted only
for the integrated assembler.

Only this patch changed; patch 2/2 ("alpha: read $gp and $sp explicitly
for clang") is unchanged from v1 and is not resent.

Changes in v2:
- Drop the scripts/Makefile.clang CLANG_TARGET_FLAGS_alpha entry.  It
  will be sent separately when the alpha backend is upstreamed to LLVM.
- Condition -Wa,-mev6 on CONFIG_AS_IS_GNU rather than CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC,
  so it is still passed for clang builds using GNU as (LLVM_IAS=0).
- Reword the subject and commit message for the reduced scope.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
