we don't need to specify -mcpu where compiler default is used,
preserve mtune though; do not -mno-altivec on ppc since altivec
is not default in the first place and doing this will just
break random things that explicitly enable altivec for runtime
checked code; do not use -maltivec on either ppc64le or ppc64
since it's implied by their -mcpu's (power8 for ppc64le which
is implicit, and 970 for ppc64 which is explicit)
also remove -mlong-double-64 for musl targets as that's compiler
default and it's not necessary to pass it; also remove -mabi=elfv2
for both ppc64le and ppc64 since it's implied default
Provide new environment variables for simplifaction of template checks:
...ENDIAN defines the (target) machine's endianness: "le" or "be".
...LIBC defines the (target) machine's C library: "glibc" or "musl".

This adds the build profiles for ppc64 targets as well as
modifications in other parts of the infra.
These targets are supported:
- ppc64le (glibc little endian elfv2)
- ppc64le-musl (musl little endian)
- ppc64-musl (musl big endian)
ELFv1 targets are explicitly not supported at this point.
Big endian musl supports ppc 970 or newer, while little endian
targets are set to a generic powerpc64le which effectively means
POWER8 and newer. Tuning is always set for POWER9, which is the
most likely target hardware. We also make sure AltiVec is always
on, because it is supported on all hardware we target.
