* [Darwin] Make a final check on PIC options.

In some cases the cascaded settings for pic/pie/PIC/PIE can cause a confusing
scenario for Darwin where "fPIC fno-PIE”  produces a wrong code generation 
setting.

So we make a final check on PIC options; for Darwin these are not dependent on
the PIE ones, although PIE does require PIC to support it.  Specifically, for Darwin,
"fPIC fno-PIE" should result in the same as "-fno-PIE -fPIC”.

tested on x86-64-darwin16,
applied to mainline
