YouTrack link: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-56569/Kotlin-Native-add-convenient-scripts-for-C-C-cross-compilation

Introduced convenient clang/clang++ wrapper scripts that use standard target triple naming conventions, making it easier to cross-compile C/C++ code against Kotlin/Native's sysroots.

New targets covered:

  • linux_x64: x86_64-linux-gnu-clang[++]
  • linux_arm64: aarch64-linux-gnu-clang[++]
  • linux_arm32_hfp: arm-linux-gnueabihf-clang[++]
  • mingw_x64: x86_64-w64-mingw32-clang[++]
  • android_arm64: aarch64-linux-android-clang[++]
  • android_arm32: arm-linux-androideabi-clang[++]
  • android_x64: x86_64-linux-android-clang[++]
  • android_x86: i686-linux-android-clang[++]

Each target includes Unix shell scripts and Windows .bat variants.
Apple targets (macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS) are not included as they require a macOS host for testing.

Hi! Thanks for the contribution! I'm thinking maybe it would be possible to generate these scripts automatically when building the distribution. This way we won't miss anything when we add or remove K/N targets.

Now instead of manually maintaining 32 wrapper scripts in kotlin-native/cmd/, generate them automatically during the distribution build by parsing targetTriple.* entries from konan.properties.

This ensures scripts stay in sync when targets are added or removed, and now includes wrappers for all targets (including Apple targets).
