This patch adds support for the powerpc64le-linux platform. It consists
of two main features:
- Support little-endian byte order
This is done via a "big_endian" member of struct unw_addr_space,
which is evaluated by common code via the dwarf_is_big_endian
macro, and also in endian-aware code in unw_is_signal_frame.
- Support the ELFv2 ABI
This is done via an "abi" member of struct unw_addr_space. This
is currently only needed in tdep_get_func_addr, since the ELFv2
ABI does not use function descriptors.
Both new members are initialized in unw_create_addr_space and
ppc64_local_addr_space_init, following the mips precedent.
Since ppc32 and ppc64 now no longer share the unw_create_addr_space
implementation, the file is duplicated from the ppc directory into
ppc32/ppc64.
Tested on powerpc64-linux and powerpc64le-linux. Support on LE
seems to be as good as existing BE support; I have not attempted to
fix the existing shortcomings of PPC support that already cause a
number to tests to fail due to unimplemented features.

- Add tdep macro for {dwarf,ia64}_find_unwind_table so that ia64
doesn't try to use dwarf code.
- Fix extraneous #if.
- Fix mistyped filename in Makefile.am.
- Link ia64-specific tests with correct libraries.

Since the fast unwinding code path doesn't need the full context,
a faster target dependent getcontext is implemented.

Dropping the extra frame for unw_backtrace itself using unw_step is
approximately 15% slower than skipping the frame in tdep_trace. So
drop the frame in the latter, and make the function a private
implementation detail for libunwind, not an exported interface.
Also moves unw_getcontext call back into unw_backtrace to avoid an
extra call frame in case slow_backtrace does not get inlined into
unw_backtrace.
Adds new function to perform a pure stack walk without unwinding,
functionally similar to backtrace() but accelerated by an address
attribute cache the caller maintains across calls.
routine and add address-space argument. This is needed because on
PPC64, a the function-name symbol refers to a function descriptor
(unlike, for example, on ia64, where the @fptr() operator is needed to
refer to a function descriptor). Thus, in order to look up the name
of a function, we need to dereference the function descriptor. To
make matters more "interesting", the function descriptors are normally
resolved by the dynamic linker, so we can't get their values from the
ELF file. Instead, we have to read them from the running image, hence
the need for the address-space argument.
