This is for consistency with Clang, which always adds a CPU flag even if
it's not specified in CFLAGS.
This commit also adds some tests to make sure the Clang target-cpu
matches the CPU property in the JSON files.
This does have an effect on the generated binaries. The effect is very
small though: on average just 0.2% increase in binary size, apparently
because Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 are compiled a bit differently. However,
when rebased on top of https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/2218
(minsize), the difference drops to -0.1% (a slight decrease on average).
This can be very useful for some purposes:
* It makes it possible to disable the UART in cases where it is not
needed or needs to be disabled to conserve power.
* It makes it possible to disable the serial output to reduce code
size, which may be important for some chips. Sometimes, a few kB can
be saved this way.
* It makes it possible to override the default, for example you might
want to use an actual UART to debug the USB-CDC implementation.
It also lowers the dependency on having machine.Serial defined, which is
often not defined when targeting a chip. Eventually, we might want to
make it possible to write `-target=nrf52` or `-target=atmega328p` for
example to target the chip itself with no board specific assumptions.
The defaults don't change. I checked this by running `make smoketest`
before and after and comparing the results.
