contrib: Fix Apple Clang specific version checks

The versions of Clang and Apple Clang can't be treated
the same, so add a version check specific to Apple Clang
and make the normal one always return false when checking
with Apple Clang.

This also makes the check for Xcode 11 for the -fno-stack-check
workaround more accurate, as it does not rely on the assumption
that Apple Clang is used when the host is Darwin, anymore.

contrib: add try_cxx_compile helper

Accepts the source code as first argument and additional compiler
flags as second argument.

Will be used in the next commit.
