testsuite: Make ghc_built_by_llvm check more precise
Previously it would hackily look at the flavour name to determine whether LLVM was used to build stage2 ghc. However, this didn't work at all with Hadrian and would miss cases like ARM where we use the LLVM backend by default. See #16087 for the motivation for why ghc_built_by_llvm is needed at all. This should catch one of the ARMv7 failures described in #17555.
