The Clang gcc-compatible driver (clang/tools/driver/driver.cpp) has some

logic to select an alternate target based on the executable it was
called as. For instance, if you symlink i686-linux-android-gcc to clang
and invoke it, the driver will act as though it were called with another
argument ("-target i686-linux-android"). This leads to visible effects
even in syntax-only compilations (like the ANDROID preprocessor symbol
being defined).

This behavior is not replicated for tool invocations--for instance,
clang::createInvocationFromCommandLine will not choose an alternate
target based on ArgList[0]. This means that configurations stored in
compilation databases aren't accurately replayed.

This patch separates the logic for selecting a mode flag and target from
the executable name into a new member function on ToolChain. It should
have no functional effects (but will allow other code to reuse the
target/mode selection logic).
