PPC64: Add libmvec SIMD double-precision power function [BZ #24210]
Based off the ./sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/pow.c implementation,
and provides identical results.

Unlike other libmvec functions, this sets the underflow and overflow bits.
The caller can check these flags, and possibly re-run the calculations with
scalar pow to figure out what is causing the overflow or underflow.

I may have not normalized the data for benchmarking this properly,
but operating only on integers between 0-2^32 and floats between 0.5 and
1 I get the following:

Running 20 times over 32MiB
vector: mean 535.824919 (sd 0.246088)
scalar: mean 286.384220 (sd 0.027630)

Which is a very impressive speed boost.
