[PATCH] D12506: Distinguish "native" from "native-arch" in lit testing

The `native` use-case is still not clearly motivated to me: it seems that it comes from the JIT tools (lli, other?) defaulting to the default LLVM triple, while I would expect them to default to the host triple.

If changing the tools is not desirable (why?), then the tests could be updated by always forcing the JIT to use the host on the command line (exporting the host triple as an env var and passing it on the RUN: line).

"objects compiled for the *default* target triple will run the host".
