powerpc: Add the lock elision using HTM
This patch adds support for lock elision using ISA 2.07 hardware
transactional memory instructions for pthread_mutex primitives.
Similar to s390 version, the for elision logic defined in
'force-elision.h' is only enabled if ENABLE_LOCK_ELISION is defined.

Also, the lock elision code should be able to be built even with
a compiler that does not provide HTM support with builtins.
However I have noted the performance is sub-optimal due scheduling
pressures.

+* Added support for TSX lock elision of pthread mutexes on powerpc32, powerpc64
+  and powerpc64le.  This may improve lock scaling of existing programs on
+  HTM capable systems.  The lock elision code is only enabled with
+  --enable-lock-elision=yes.  Also, the TSX lock elision implementation for
+  powerpc will issue a transaction abort on every syscall to avoid side
+  effects being visible outside transactions.
+
 * Optimized strcpy, stpcpy, strchrnul and strrchr implementations for
   AArch64.  Contributed by ARM Ltd.
