[PowerPC] Implement VDSO timebase access on powerpc*

Implement the remaining pieces needed to allow userland timestamp reading.

Rewritten based on an intial essay into the problem by Justin Hibbits.
(Copyright changed to my own on his request.)

Tested on ppc64 (POWER9 Talos II), powerpcspe (e500v2 RB800), and
powerpc (g4 PowerBook).

Correct an misunderstanding of MDSRCS.

MDSRCS it intended to allow assembly versions of funtions with C
implementations listed in MISRCS. The selection of the correct
machdep_ldis?.c for a given architecture does not follow this pattern
and the file should be added to SRCS directly.

Create a new MACHINE_ARCH for Freescale PowerPC e500v2

Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).

Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.

Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.

Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.

Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot
multiuser.
