Makefile.am: Add clang static analysis support

Clang Static Analyzer is a source code analysis tool to find bugs. This
patch adds make target to trigger static analysis using below commands.

./boot.sh
For Clang: ./configure CC=clang --with-dpdk
For GCC: ./configure CC=gcc --with-dpdk CFLAGS="-std=gnu99"
make clang-analyze

Run 'scan-view <results dir>' command to examine the bug report.

+Static Code Analysis
+--------------------
+
+Static Analysis is a method of debugging Software by examining code rather
+than actually executing it. This can be done through 'scan-build' commandline
+utility which internally uses clang (or) gcc to compile the code and also
+invokes a static analyzer to do the code analysis. At the end of the build, the
+reports are aggregated in to a common folder and can later be analyzed using
+'scan-view'.
+
+Open vSwitch includes a Makefile target to trigger static code Analysis and
+the instructions are below.
+
+1. ./boot.sh
+2. ./configure CC=clang (when using clang compiler)
+   ./configure CC=gcc CFLAGS="-std=gnu99" (when using GCC)
+3. make clang-analyze
+
+You should invoke scan-view to view analysis results. The last line of output
+from 'make clang-analyze' shall list the command (containing results directory)
+that you should invoke to view the results on a browser.
