Any is fine, we just need a way to say "no os" or "no vendor" or "no 
environment". The way I am thinking about the way things would be:

If we had a "None":

- "Any" would be "unknown" (specified or unspecified)
- "None" would be the new enum/string

If we add "Any":

- "Any" would be the new enum/string
- "None" would be "unknown" (specified or unspecified)

Seems like less work to add the "None". Otherwise we end up having to change 
all much more triple stuff in LLVM because if we init a triple with "armv7", it 
currently defaults to unknown for os, vendor and env and that would need to 
change. Or all constructors in LLDB would need to change to call a different 
constructor that would force any unspecified parts to become "Any". Thoughts?
Not sure which is easier.
