Compile native modules on Travis using clang-3.3

All the native modules we ship with Atom are compiled by dynamically linking the libstdc++ library. Using gcc (and g++) > 4.6 to compile them, however, requires a newer version of that library, which is not installed by default on Ubuntu Precise (Travis default image) and thus causing all the third-party packages built via Travis to fail when using Atom 1.11-beta. By using clang-3.3 we can keep backwards compatibility with previous versions of libstdc++ and still be able to compile C++11 code (which is mandatory for Node >= 4).
