Crostini: add gcc/g++ or LLVM compiler

Project Member Reported by goanuj@google.com, Jan 10 
Chrome Version: 71.0.3578.85 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)
OS: ChromeOS, Pixelbook

What steps will reproduce the problem?
$ gcc
-bash: gcc: command not found
$ cc
-bash: cc: command not found

What is the expected result?
gcc or cc should load up, at least one compiler should be part of the distribution

What happens instead?
gcc or cc is not found, note that if this is going to be a forward looking platform we should prefer LLVM

we're discussing the possibility of a more developer-oriented container people can select, but a compiler shouldn't be in what we ship today.  not only does it add significantly to the install, not all users will use it.  consider the fact that a lot of people use clang, or that they're using the container to run photo/video software and not compilers at all.  or the fact that a compiler w/out all the additional -dev packages for headers/static libs/debug info isn't that useful.

This is working as intended. The default container is intentionally minimal though we intend to make alternatives available that will have reasonable default packages installed.

You can fairly easily install gcc with `sudo apt install gcc`.
