`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.

This allows "icmp ugt %a, 4294967295" and "icmp uge %a, 4294967296" to be optimized into right shifts by 32 which can fold the immediate into the shift instruction. These patterns show up with some regularity in real code.
Unfortunately, since getImmCost can't see the icmp predicate we can't be tell if we're only catching these specific cases.
