We have two API's:

SBDebugger.CreateTargetWithFileAndTargetTriple
SBDebugger.CreateTargetWithFileAndArch

Both take a path and a string.  Currently, their implementations are almost 
identical, the major difference being that the first one ignores the error from 
target creation, but I don't think that part is on purpose.

I can't find anywhere where we say what the difference between a "TargetTriple" 
and an "Arch" is.  I think the difference is that for an Arch you are allowed 
to pass lldb.LLDB_ARCH_DEFAULT as well as a target triple.  At least the 
example at the top of SBDebugger.i indicates this should work.  Unsurprisingly, 
since the two implementations are functionally the same, the call we suggest in 
SBDebugger.i using LLDB_ARCH_DEFAULT doesn't in fact work.  

There's also a FindTargetByFileAndArch that also takes lldb.LLDB_ARCH_DEFAULT, 
but it actually does the work to translate the string using the current 
Platform, and that does work.

The SBDebugger API is easy to fix, but I wanted to also put in something saying 
what the difference was except I'm not sure what to say.
