kbuild: replace AS=clang with LLVM_IAS=1
The 'AS' variable is unused for building the kernel. Only the remaining
usage is to turn on the integrated assembler. A boolean flag is a better
fit for this purpose.
AS=clang was added for experts. So, I replaced it with LLVM_IAS=1,
breaking the backward compatibility.
