Some lit tests that call llvm-ar use the 'r' flag. If the target archive
already exists and is in a corrupt state, this can cause the test to fail. We
have added 'rm -f' calls before the llvm-ar calls to increase the
robustness of the tests.

Noticed while testing for an out of tree target. There are probably more tests that should be so marked.
I'm not sure who owns these tests so I've added a few names I recognise from the recent history.
With advice from probinson, ruiu, rafael and dramatically improved by davidb. Thank you all!

lld differs from GNU ld in that it does not have a built-in default
target emulation. Emulation is always specified via the -m option, or
obtained from the object file(s) being linked. In most cases at least
one ELF object is included in the link, so the emulation is known.
When using lld's (not yet committed) -b binary support with -r, to
convert a binary file into an ELF object we do not have a known
emulation. The error message previously emitted in this case
"-m or at least a .o file required" is accurate but does not offer
much insight. Add text to the error message to give a hint why -m or an
object file is required.
