kbuild: Reject unexpected values for LLVM=

Browse source 
The LLVM argument is documented to accept one of three forms:
* a literal '1' to use the default 'clang',
* a toolchain prefix path, ending in a trailing '/',
* a version suffix.

All other values are silently treated as '1'. If for example
the user accidentally forgets the trailing '/' of a toolchain prefix,
kbuild will unexpectedly and silently fall back to the system toolchain.

Instead report an error if the user specified an invalid value for LLVM.
