Use `-unknown` when converting WASI/Emscripten target triples into LLVM triples

The "musl" part of the Zig target triples `wasm32-wasi-musl` and `wasm32-emscripten-musl` refers to the libc, not really the ABI. For WASM, most LLVM-based tooling uses `wasm32-wasi`, which is normalized into `wasm32-unknown-wasi`, with an implicit `-unknown` and without `-musl`. Similarly, Emscripten uses `wasm32-unknown-emscripten` without `-musl`. By using `-unknown` instead of `-musl` we get better compatibility with external tooling.
