This pr fixes #<!-- -->167388 .

## Description

This pr adds new method `GetArchName` to `SBTarget` so that no need to parse triple to get arch name in client code.

## Testing

### All from `TestTargetAPI.py`

run test with

```
./build/bin/lldb-dotest -v -p TestTargetAPI.py
```

### Only `test_get_arch_name`

run test with 
```
./build/bin/lldb-dotest -v -p TestTargetAPI.py -f test_get_arch_name_dwarf -f test_get_arch_name_dwo -f test_get_arch_name_dsym lldb/test/API/python_api/target
