llvm alu32 was introduced in llvm7:
  https://reviews.llvm.org/rL325987
  https://reviews.llvm.org/rL325989
Experiments showed that in general performance
is better with alu32 enabled:
  https://lwn.net/Articles/775316/

This patch turned on alu32 with no-flavor test_progs
which is tested most often. The flavor test at
no_alu32/test_progs can be used to test without
alu32 enabled. The Makefile check for whether
llvm supports '-mattr=+alu32 -mcpu=v3' is
removed as llvm7 should be available for recent
distributions and also latest llvm is preferred
to run bpf selftests.

Note that jmp32 is checked by -mcpu=probe and
will be enabled if the host kernel supports it.

Sounds good to me, see minor nit below.

combine this with TEST_GEN_PROGS list above, it's not conditional anymore?

Ya, make sense. Will respin.
