`llc -march` is problematic because it only switches the target
architecture, but leaves the operating system unchanged. This
occasionally leads to indeterministic tests because the OS from
LLVM_DEFAULT_TARGET_TRIPLE is used.
However we can simply always use `llc -mtriple` instead. This changes
all the tests to do this to avoid people using -march when they copy and
paste parts of tests.

The bug arises during register allocation on i686 for
CMPXCHG8B instruction when base pointer is needed. CMPXCHG8B
needs 4 implicit registers (EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX) and a memory address,
plus ESI is reserved as the base pointer. With such constraints the only
way register allocator would do its job successfully is when the addressing
mode of the instruction requires only one register. If that is not the case
- we are emitting additional LEA instruction to compute the address.
It fixes PR28755.
