build: Restore support for cross-compiling the netsniff-ng toolkit
Ever since we switched to the hand-crafted ./configure script, support for cross-compiling the netsniff-ng toolkit was basically broken. Restore the abaility to cross-compile our tools by making ./configure consider the CROSS_COMPILE and SYSROOT variables. Example for cross-compiling on arm: $ CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- \ SYSROOT=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf \ ./configure $ make assuming the cross-compiled libraries (and their respective pkg-config information) are in /usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf.

And then, build the toolkit like this:
- $ make CROSS_COMPILE=microblazeel-unknown-linux-gnu- \
- CROSS_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<cc-lib-search-path>

+SYSROOT should be set to the path where your cross-compiled libraries are
+stored, i.e. the path you specify as prefix when configuring the library using
+`./configure --prefix=<prefix>'.
Note that some adaptations might be necessary regarding the CFLAGS, since not
all might be supported by a different architecture. Probably the most simple
