Remove a hack that tries to understand incorrect triples from the

Triple class constructor.  Only valid triples should now be used
inside LLVM - front-ends are now responsable for rejecting or
correcting invalid target triples.  The Triple::normalize method
can be used to straighten out funky triples provided by users.
Give this a whirl through the buildbots to see if I caught all
places where triples enter LLVM.
