Leo Yan 0a75ba3e84 perf docs: Document building with Clang
Add example commands for building perf with Clang.

Since recent Android NDK releases use Clang as the default compiler, a
separate Android specific document is no longer needed; point to the
general build documentation instead.

How to compile perf for Android
===============================
There are two ways to build perf and run it on Android:
- Method 1: Build perf with static linking. See Build.txt, section
"4) Cross compilation" for how to build a static perf binary.
- Method 2: Download the Android NDK and use the bundled Clang to
build perf. See Build.txt, section "5) Build with clang" for details.
