PowerPC: remove wrong truncl implementation for PowerPC64
The truncl assembly implementation (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_truncl.S)
returns wrong results for some inputs where first double is a exact integer
and the precision is determined by second long double.

Checking on implementation comments and history, I am very confident the
assembly implementation was based on a version before commit
5c68d401698a58cf7da150d9cce769fa6679ba5f that fixes BZ#2423 (Errors in
long double (ldbl-128ibm) rounding functions in glibc-2.4).

By just removing the implementation and make the build select
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_truncl.c instead it fixes tgammal
issues regarding wrong result sign.
