livepatch/klp-build: Require Clang assembler >= 20

Browse source 
Some special sections specify their ELF section entsize, for example:

  .pushsection section, "M", @progbits, 8

The entsize (8 in this example) is needed by objtool klp-diff for
extracting individual entries.

Clang assembler versions older than 20 silently ignore the above
construct and set entsize to 0, resulting in the following error:

  .discard.annotate_data: missing special section entsize or annotations

Add a klp-build check to prevent the use of Clang assembler versions
prior to 20.
