Clang test CodeGen/thinlto-clang-diagnostic-handler-in-be.c fails on
some non x86 targets, e.g. hexagon. Since the test already requires x86
to be available as a target this commit forces the target to x86_64.

the implementation is known-broken for certain inputs,
the bugreport was up for a significant amount of timer,
and there has been no activity to address it.
Therefore, just completely rip out all of misexpect handling.
I suspect, fixing it requires redesigning the internals of MD_misexpect.
Should anyone commit to fixing the implementation problem,
starting from clean slate may be better anyways.
This reverts commit 7bdad08429,
and some of it's follow-ups, that don't stand on their own.
For IR input files, we currently use LLVM diagnostic handler even the
compilation is from clang. As a result, we are not able to use -Rpass
to get the transformation reports. Some warnings are not handled
properly either: We found many mysterious warnings in our ThinLTO backend
compilations in SamplePGO and CSPGO. An example of the warning:
"warning: net/proto2/public/metadata_lite.h:51:21: 0.02% (1 / 4999)"
This turns out to be a warning by Wmisexpect, which is supposed to be
filtered out by default. But since the filter is in clang's
diagnostic hander, we emit these incomplete warnings from LLVM's
diagnostic handler.
This patch uses clang diagnostic handler for IR input files. We create
a fake backendconsumer just to install the diagnostic handler.
With this change, we will have proper handling of all the warnings and we can
use -Rpass* options in IR input files compilation.
Also note that with is patch, LLVM's diagnostic options, like
"-mllvm -pass-remarks=*", are no longer be able to get optimization remarks.
