Documentation/llvm: Add a note about prebuilt kernel.org toolchains

Commit Message

I recently started uploading prebuilt stable versions of LLVM to
kernel.org, which should make building the kernel with LLVM more
accessible to maintainers and developers. Link them in the LLVM
documentation to make this more visible.

Leave it to me to forget to use ':set spell' :( sometimes I think that
people would have a hard time guessing I am a native English speaker :^)

Thanks for the quick review! I will send a v2 once others have had a
chance to chime in (unless the person applying this does not mind fixing
it up at that time).
