[Driver] allow Android triples to alias for non Android targets
Summary: Partial revert of r330873 ('[Driver] Reland "Android triples are not aliases for other triples."') While we don't want `-target *-linux-android` to alias to non *-linux-android libs and binaries, it turns out we do want the opposite. Ie. We would like for `-target *-linux-gnu` to still be able to use *-android libs and binaries. In fact, this is used to cross assemble and link the Linux kernel for Android devices. `-target *-linux-gnu` needs to be used for the Linux kernel when using the android binutils prebuilts (*-linux-android). The use of `-target *-linux-android` on C source files will cause Clang to perform optimizations based on the presence of bionic (due to r265481 ('Faster stack-protector for Android/AArch64.')) which is invalid within the Linux kernel and will produce a non-bootable kernel image. Of course, you could just use the standard binutils (*-linux-gnu), but Android does not distribute these. So this patch fixes a problem that only occurs when cross assembling and linking a Linux kernel with the Android provided binutils, which is what is done within Android's build system.
