Add cross-compile instructions for Raspberry Pi (#1263)

These are basic instructions that lead to the build process completing without error (after a known error occurs and is rectified). For now, the final results are untested.

To cross-compile for Raspberry Pi
--------------------
Obtain the [official Raspberry Pi toolchains](https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools). This document assumes compilation will occur towards the Raspberry Pi 3 (arm-linux-gnueabihf as of Mar. 2018). In addition, obtain and install cross-compiled versions of sqlite 3 and gmp.
Depending on your toolchain location and target arch, source env variables will need to be set. They can be set from the command line as such:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin
# Change next line depending on specific Raspberry Pi device
target_host=arm-linux-gnueabihf
export AR=$target_host-ar
export AS=$target_host-as
export CC=$target_host-gcc
export CXX=$target_host-g++
export LD=$target_host-ld
export STRIP=$target_host-strip
Install the `qemu-user` package. This will allow you to properly configure the build for the target device environment. Then, build with the following commands. (A 64-bit build system is assumed here.)
make CC=gcc clean ccan/tools/configurator/configurator
BUILD=x86_64 HOST=arm-linux-gnueabihf make PIE=1 DEVELOPER=0 CONFIGURATOR_CC="arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -static" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/gmp-and-sqlite/lib" CFLAGS="-std=gnu11 -I /path/to/gmp-and-sqlite/include -I . -I ccan -I external/libwally-core/src/secp256k1/include -I external/libsodium/src/libsodium/include -I external/jsmn -I external/libwally-core/include -I external/libbacktrace -I external/libbase58"
The compilation will eventually fail due to a compile error in the `cdump` CCAN module. Recompile the module, and then re-run the make system.
make clean -C ccan/ccan/cdump/tools
make CC=gcc -C ccan/ccan/cdump/tools
BUILD=x86_64 HOST=arm-linux-gnueabihf make PIE=1 DEVELOPER=0 CONFIGURATOR_CC="arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -static" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/gmp-and-sqlite/lib" CFLAGS="-std=gnu11 -I /path/to/gmp-and-sqlite/include -I . -I ccan -I external/libwally-core/src/secp256k1/include -I external/libsodium/src/libsodium/include -I external/jsmn -I external/libwally-core/include -I external/libbacktrace -I external/libbase58"
