As a first step towards real little-endian code generation, this patch
changes the PowerPC MC layer to actually generate little-endian object
files. This involves passing the little-endian flag through the various
layers, including down to createELFObjectWriter so we actually get basic
little-endian ELF objects, emitting instructions in little-endian order,
and handling fixups and relocations as appropriate for little-endian.
The bulk of the patch is to update most test cases in test/MC/PowerPC
to verify both big- and little-endian encodings. (The only test cases
*not* updated are those that create actual big-endian ABI code, like
the TLS tests.)
Note that while the object files are now little-endian, the generated
code itself is not yet updated, in particular, it still does not adhere
to the ELFv2 ABI.

Various tests had sprung up over the years which had --check-prefix=ABC on the
RUN line, but "CHECK-ABC:" later on. This happened to work before, but was
strictly incorrect. FileCheck is getting stricter soon though.

A @got reference must always result in a relocation, so that
the linker has a chance to set up the GOT entry, even if the
symbol happens to be local.
Add a PPCELFObjectWriter::ExplicitRelSym routine that enforces
a relocation to be emitted for GOT references.
