[PATCH] Make the driver accept all four variants of the target option

[Richard Smith]

By coincidence, I happened to run into the fact that we don't support
--target earlier today. We have a lot of truly weird baggage in our
command-line syntax, but I think we should be striving to minimize it. Is
there a justification for supporting one of "--foo bar" and "--foo=bar" but
not the other, for *any* of our options with arguments?

(I find it especially weird that our TableGen option mechanism has native
support for handling "-Ifoo" and "-I foo" as the same option, but not for
the more common case of "--blah foo" and "--blah=foo".)
