For non-MSVC, separate flags/options from the input file. (rust-lang#513

)

This avoids a `clang-cl` issue common when cross-compiling from macOS
to Windows: the `-Wslash-u-filename` where a `/Users/...` path is
interpreted as the `cl.exe` flag `/U`.

In general it's somewhere between harmless and good form to separate
flags/options from input files, so `--` is used for all compilers save
MSVC.

There are no existing tests mocking out `clang-cl` and surface efforts
didn't succeed, so that will have to wait for follow-up.
