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.

- This currently just moves over all of the behavior from LLVM. Eventually all of the configure checks that are directly needed by the LLVM build setup should probably go away, and the project should manage their own configuration checks if necessary.
- This is the 1st half of this work, the actual Makefile.common hasn't moved over yet. I've tried to stage this in such a way that incremental builds will properly reconfigure for most active developers (the Makefiles don't handle reconfiguring in a perfectly reliable way, and I haven't found an easy way to make them do so).
