[clang] Bing --gcc-triple to flang (PR #165886)

[Konrad Kleine via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/kwk created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/165886

When there are multiple `gcc` versions installed, we want `flang` to be able to find the right one based on the triple. Here's `flang` selecting an unwanted `gcc` candidate installation, namely
`/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/15`:

```
~/src/llvm-project/main/build-RelWithDebInfo > ./bin/flang -v
flang version 22.0.0custombuild
Target: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /home/fedora/src/llvm-project/main/build-RelWithDebInfo/bin
System configuration file directory: /etc/clang/
Found candidate GCC installation: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/15
Found candidate GCC installation: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/15
Selected GCC installation: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/15
Candidate multilib: .;@m64
Candidate multilib: 32;@m32
Selected multilib: .;@m64
```

When passing `--gcc-triple=x86_64-redhat-linux` we get the desired gcc candidate installation, namely `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/15`:

```
~/src/llvm-project/main/build-RelWithDebInfo > ./bin/flang --gcc-triple=x86_64-redhat-linux -v

Subject: [PATCH] Bing --gcc-triple to flang

When there are multiple gcc versions installed, we want `flang` to be able
to find the right one based on the triple. Here's `flang` selecting an
unwanted `gcc` candidate installation, namely
`/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/15`:

```

When passing `--gcc-triple=x86_64-redhat-linux` we get the desired gcc
candidate installation:
