[clang] Limit bitcode option ignorelist to Darwin

[MichielDerhaeg]

Summary

This ignore list prevents embedding of bitcode for some platforms
without jumping through some hoops as several of the flags are passed by default.
E.g. On Android, since NDK 21, -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections,
-mstackrealign, etc.. are added by default.

The ignore list is limited to Apple-based platforms.
Flags that are not expressed in some way in bitcode are now also passed to ensure they take effect.

LGTM. Can you add a test for your usecase?

This comment and variable name are not as accurate any longer. Maybe moving it inside if (RawTriple.isOSDarwin()) makes it clearer.

• Render options for other platforms and test
• comment and propagate list

Changed the comment to what I could derive from D61627: [clang driver] Allow -fembed-bitcode combined with -mno-red-zone.

This looks sensible to me. But I'm not an expert in the area (and still not 100% clear on the purpose of the ignorelist) so can't really say if the added comments captures the intent accurately.

Should this test have a // REQUIRES: aarch64-registered-target?

[MichielDerhaeg]

• add target requirement to lit test
• move condition

Thanks! LGTM.
