configure: Add workaround for ccache and clang

Test if ccache is interfering with semantic analysis of macros,
disable its habit of trying to compile already pre-processed
versions of code if so. ccache attempts to save time by compiling
pre-processed versions of code, but this disturbs clang's static
analysis enough to produce false positives.

ccache allows us to disable this feature, opting instead to
compile the original version instead of its preprocessed version.
This makes ccache much slower for cache misses, but at least it
becomes usable with QEMU/clang.

This workaround only activates for users using ccache AND clang,
and only if their configuration is observed to be producing warnings.
You may need to clear your ccache for builds started without -Werror,
as those may continue to produce warnings from the cache.

Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for his writeup on the issue:
