PPC support

[vendion]

I see that Go supports x86, x86_64, and ARM, but what about PPC? I
have a couple of x86_64 machines around that I will test on but I also
want to be able to test on my PowerBook G4 if possible.

There's no PPC support yet. (although gccgo may be able to output PPC
code at some point.)

If you want it, patches are welcome :)

There is already a PowerPC C compiler and linker, qc and ql, for plan9
so a port should be easier to do. The arm port was much quicker
because 5c/5l already existed. AFAIK nobody is working on it yet.

We have no immediate plans for PPC support in 6g/8g.

gccgo might support PPC today, but I haven't tried it.
