configure: check $CC available before verifying host CPU

When executing 'configure' in a fresh QEMU clone, in a fresh
OS install running in a ppc64le host, this is the error
shown:

-----

../configure --enable-trace-backend=simple --enable-debug
    --target-list=ppc64-softmmu

ERROR: Unsupported CPU = ppc64le, try --enable-tcg-interpreter

-----

This isn't true, ppc64le host CPU is supported. This happens because,
in a fresh install, we don't have a C compiler to autodetect
the $cpu variable to "ppc64".

This patch moves the CC available check up a bit, just before verifying
the host CPU. This ensures that we bail out with a $CC not available
error instead of unsupported CPU (the host CPU detection without
the compiler wouldn't work properly anyway). It also allows --help to
keep working without a C compiler. With this patch, in the same ppc64le
host without gcc:

$ ../configure --enable-trace-backend=simple --enable-debug
    --target-list=ppc64-softmmu

ERROR: "cc" either does not exist or does not work

$ ../configure --help

Usage: configure [options]
Options: [defaults in brackets after descriptions]

Standard options:
  --help                   print this message
  --prefix=PREFIX          install in PREFIX [/usr/local]
  --interp-prefix=PREFIX   where to find shared libraries, etc.
