Remove LLVM/-fPIC check in DynFlags

When the LLVM backend was first implemented the implementation did not support -fPIC or -dynamic. Support for this was added in 60873542, which merely added the appropriate -relocation-model flag to the opt command line when compiling with -fPIC. However, the error message in DynFlags.makeDynFlagsConsistent remains for all but a select few platforms,

 | hscTarget dflags == HscLlvm &&
   not ((arch == ArchX86_64) && (os == OSLinux || os == OSDarwin || os == OSFreeBSD)) &&
   not ((isARM arch) && (os == OSLinux)) &&
   (gopt Opt_PIC dflags || WayDyn `elem` ways dflags)
    = if cGhcWithNativeCodeGen == "YES"
      then let dflags' = dflags { hscTarget = HscAsm }
               warn = "Using native code generator rather than LLVM, as LLVM is incompatible with -fPIC and -dynamic on this platform"
           in loop dflags' warn
      else throwGhcException $ CmdLineError "Can't use -fPIC or -dynamic on this platform"

Is this still necessary? If so, why? If not, we should remove it.

changed weight to 5

added LLVM backend Ttask Trac import labels

I'll push a diff tomorrow that removes that code, as well as some other iOS specific annoyance. I'll also try to do some additional testing.
