[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0190: Target environment platform condition

IMO, “target environment” and “simulator” are clear and self-explanatory;
“destination” means nothing to me, and just because Xcode uses it in the
context of a GUI does not mean that it is the best solution. I’m very much
in favor of this proposal exactly as it is.
