As a first step towards real little-endian code generation, this patch
changes the PowerPC MC layer to actually generate little-endian object
files. This involves passing the little-endian flag through the various
layers, including down to createELFObjectWriter so we actually get basic
little-endian ELF objects, emitting instructions in little-endian order,
and handling fixups and relocations as appropriate for little-endian.
The bulk of the patch is to update most test cases in test/MC/PowerPC
to verify both big- and little-endian encodings. (The only test cases
*not* updated are those that create actual big-endian ABI code, like
the TLS tests.)
Note that while the object files are now little-endian, the generated
code itself is not yet updated, in particular, it still does not adhere
to the ELFv2 ABI.

We used to generate the compact unwind encoding from the machine
instructions. However, this had the problem that if the user used `-save-temps'
or compiled their hand-written `.s' file (with CFI directives), we wouldn't
generate the compact unwind encoding.
Move the algorithm that generates the compact unwind encoding into the
MCAsmBackend. This way we can generate the encoding whether the code is from a
`.ll' or `.s' file.

This patch provides basic support for powerpc64le as an LLVM target.
However, use of this target will not actually generate little-endian
code. Instead, use of the target will cause the correct little-endian
built-in defines to be generated, so that code that tests for
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__, for example, will be correctly parsed for
syntax-only testing. Code generation will otherwise be the same as
powerpc64 (big-endian), for now.
The patch leaves open the possibility of creating a little-endian
PowerPC64 back end, but there is no immediate intent to create such a
thing.
The LLVM portions of this patch simply add ppc64le coverage everywhere
that ppc64 coverage currently exists. There is nothing of any import
worth testing until such time as little-endian code generation is
implemented. In the corresponding Clang patch, there is a new test
case variant to ensure that correct built-in defines for little-endian
code are generated.

store this and use it to not emit long nops when the CPU is geode which
doesnt support them.
