 UNREG: ignore -fllvm (Trac #13495)

 Unregisterised GHC can only use C as a target backend
 (option used to be called -fvia-C). -fasm option was
 ignored with a warhing, but not -fllvm.

 jms noticed the failure when tried to use quick-cross
 build flavour. quick-cross enables -fllvm in makefile.

   "inplace/bin/ghc-stage1" ... -fllvm
   ghc-stage1: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
     (GHC version 8.0.2 for powerpc-unknown-linux):
           LlvmCodeGen.Ppr: Cross compiling without valid target info.

 This change ignores -fllvm as well.
