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 LLVM portions of this patch simply add ppc64le coverage everywhere
that ppc64 coverage currently exists. There is nothing of any import
worth testing until such time as little-endian code generation is
implemented. In the corresponding Clang patch, there is a new test
case variant to ensure that correct built-in defines for little-endian
code are generated.

The motivation to do that:
1. Now, llvm would use the stock config.sub. Before that we had an
uncommitted FreeBSD-related patch. Now, it has been upstreamed and
comes back. It means that it would be easier to update these files in
the next time (less magic knowledge)
2. Fix a typo for pseudo-CPUs: 32e[lb] -> [lb]e32, 64e[lb]->[lb]64.
One of these CPUs is used for PNaCl and it was not really convenient
to have a CPU that starts with a digit.

from the GNU upstream: git://git.savannah.gnu.org/config.git
1. It eliminates a local LLVM patch for auroraux (because, the
mainline config.sub has already got support of auroraux)
2. It adds several new recognized target cpus and operating systems
(in particular, PNaCl)
