`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.

In practice only a few well known appending linkage variables work.
Currently if codegen sees an unknown appending linkage variable it will
just print it as a regular global. That is wrong as the symbol in the
produced object file has different semantics as the one provided by the
appending linkage.
This just errors early instead of producing a broken .o.
