[PowerPC] Support powerpc64le as a syntax-checking target.

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 new test case variant ensures that correct built-in defines for
little-endian code are generated.
