powerpc: Re-work the Implies structure
This patch tries to organize the implies files for ppc, since there are
a number of processors and most of them are compatible with each other
(backwards compatible).

Having in mind that we start the search for processor-specific files in
the sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux tree
(sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/[processor]/fpu to be
exact), we would like to grab any linux-specific code from that tree
prior to going through the other tree (sysdeps/powerpc/...).

For that, i removed the Implies files that were originally inside the
fpu directories and placed then in the non-fpu directories (still inside
the unix/sysv/linux tree). If no processor-specific/linux-specific files
could be found, we "imply" the other tree's (sysdeps/powerpc/...) fpu
directory for that specific processor AND also the non-fpu directory for
that same tree.

If, again, no processor-specific code is found, we read another Implies
file that will point to the most compatible processor that we should
grab code from, and so on, until we reach the power4 processor.

So, in summary, the Implies files will live inside these directories
now:

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/[processor]
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/[processor]

Practical example of the order we will use to pick power6-specific code
with the new structure.

sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6/fpu ->
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6 ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6 ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5+/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5+ ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5 ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power4/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power4 (from here, it'll go to the
generic path as usual)
