We were handling the non-hidden case in lib/Target/TargetMachine.cpp,
but the hidden case was handled in architecture dependent code and
only X86_64 and AArch64 were covered.
While it is true that some code sequences in some ABIs might be able
to produce the correct value at runtime, that doesn't seem to be the
common case.
I left the AArch64 code in place since it also forces a got access for
non-pic code. It is not clear if that is needed, but it is probably
better to change that in another commit.

An `external_weak` global may be intended to resolve as a null pointer if it's
not defined, so it doesn't make sense to use a copy relocation for it.

`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.

This option indicates copy relocations support is available from the linker
when building as PIE and allows accesses to extern globals to avoid the GOT.
