iOS simulator: pick the target based on the environment variable

LLVM picks the right things to put into the compiled object file based
on the target deployment version.
We need to communicate it through the target triple.
Only with that LLVM will use the right commands in the file to make it
look and behave like code compiled for the arm64 iOS simulator target.
