LLVM triple normalization is handling "unknown" and empty components
differently; for example given "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" and
"x86_64-linux-gnu" which should be equivalent, triple normalization
returns "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" and "x86_64--linux-gnu". autoconf's
config.sub returns "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" for both
"x86_64-linux-gnu" and "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu". This changes the
triple normalization to behave the same way, replacing empty triple
components with "unknown".
