backend=auto (now the default if backend is omitted) means to let the compiler
pick whatever backend it wants as the default. This is important for platforms
where we don't yet have a self-hosted backend, such as loongarch64.
Also purge a bunch of redundant target=native.
This reverts commit f88b523065fbb8afbd723fd6e803ace0334b713c.
Let's please go through the language proposal process for this change. I
don't see any justification for this breaking change even in the commit
message.
