build: default to llvm toolchain - #170
Merged

Conversation
The LLVM toolchain seems to be the golden standard for chess engines. I've conducted a few tests and it's literally insane how much of a difference it makes! Let's default to clang going forward! NOTE: I've kept the GCC targets as they might come handy for people trying to compile the engine natively etc. Bench 2955703 Signed-off-by: Hans Binderup <hbinderup94@gmail.com>
