meson: Robustify compiler detection logic

meson would fail to detect compiler type in some rare care where
specific substring '-xt' is detected in compiler --version output and
it so happens that this string can be generated by clang --version if
clang is installed into a directory containing 'xt-' in its name. with
recipe specific sysroots, this is quite likely to happen in OE build
system as we are seeing the issue with newly proposed gnome-text-editor
recipe

+Subject: [PATCH] Check for clang before guessing gcc or lcc
+
+clang --version can yield a string like below when its installed into
+such a directory
+
+clang version 14.0.0 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project 3f43d803382d57e3fc010ca19833077d1023e9c9)
+Target: aarch64-yoe-linux
+Thread model: posix
+InstalledDir: /mnt/b/yoe/master/build/tmp/work/cortexa72-yoe-linux/gnome-text-editor/42.0-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/aarch64-yoe-linux
+
+as you can see InstallDir has 'xt-' subtring and this trips the check to
+guess gcc
+
+if 'Free Software Foundation' in out or 'xt-' in out:
+
+Therefore, check if compiler is clang then there is no point of running
+this check anyway.
