Remove a hack that tries to understand incorrect triples from the
Triple class constructor. Only valid triples should now be used inside LLVM - front-ends are now responsable for rejecting or correcting invalid target triples. The Triple::normalize method can be used to straighten out funky triples provided by users. Give this a whirl through the buildbots to see if I caught all places where triples enter LLVM. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@112470 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
