3c8acf3687 build: bring in a later compiler for Windows on Arm (#18591)
* build: allow pulling in a later version of Clang

Due to a code-generation defect related to virtual method thunks in the
official compiler used for Chromium M76, it's necessary to build for WoA
with a later version of Clang. When running gclient sync, setting
ELECTRON_BUILD_WOA=1 in the environment will download a corrected
compiler which doesn't have this defect.

and will allow us to update everyone's build args in git.
