There might be a need for user to cross-compile SPDK for other platforms
than native. Since DPDK supports cross-compilation already, only enablement of
cross-compilation for SPDK is missing. This patch aims to provide the user
with additional option to configure script that works similar to what DPDK already provides.
To enable cross-compilation run ./configure.sh with additional --cross-prefix parameter.
The parameter should work in similar manner to DPDK CROSS parameter
and specifies prefix of cross-compiler defined in PATH variable.
Note: To cross-compile, toolchain must have SPDK dependencies such as e.g. Libaio.
