support out-of-tree build

this change adds support for building musl outside of the source
tree. the implementation is similar to autotools where running
configure in a different directory creates config.mak in the current
working directory and symlinks the makefile, which contains the
logic for creating all necessary directories and resolving paths
relative to the source directory.

to support both in-tree and out-of-tree builds with implicit make
rules, all object files are now placed into a separate directory.
