  [Driver,CodeGen] Support -mtls-dialect= (#79256)

GCC supports -mtls-dialect= for several architectures to select TLSDESC.
This patch supports the following values

* x86: "gnu". "gnu2" (TLSDESC) is not supported yet.
* RISC-V: "trad" (general dynamic), "desc" (TLSDESC, see #66915)

AArch64 toolchains seem to support TLSDESC from the beginning, and the
general dynamic model has poor support. Nobody seems to use the option
-mtls-dialect= at all, so we don't bother with it.
There also seems very little interest in AArch32's TLSDESC support.

TLSDESC does not change IR, but affects object file generation. Without
a backend option the option is a no-op for in-process ThinLTO.

There seems no motivation to have fine-grained control mixing trad/desc
for TLS, so we just pass -mllvm, and don't bother with a modules flag
metadata or function attribute.
