[mono-runtimes] Add and use $(HostCc), $(HostCxx)

`clang` isn't the C compiler everywhere, and `clang++` isn't the
C++ everywhere. For example, Ubuntu provides `clang-3.5`.

Allow the host-native C and C++ compilers to be specified/overridden
via the new $(HostCc) and $(HostCxx) MSBuild properties.
