Since commit a3cc4f48e9 ("Remove
--as-needed configure test."), --as-needed support is no longer
optional.
The macros are not much shorter and do not provide documentary
value, either, so this commit removes them.
Replace inline asm uses of the "mffs" and "mtfsf" instructions with
the analogous GCC builtins.
__builtin_mffs and __builtin_mtfsf are both available in GCC 5 and above.
Given the minimum GCC level for GLibC is now GCC 6.2, it is safe to use
these builtins without restriction.

The configure fragment for powerpc64le contains a test for the presence
of several compiler builtins and of the __float128 type, which are
provided by GCC 6.2 for powerpc64le. Since this configure test was
added, the compiler version required to build glibc for powerpc64le was
different than that required for the other architectures.
Now that glibc requires GCC 6.2 globally (since commit ID 4dcbbc3b28),
this patch removes the powerpc64le-specific test.
Even tough the configure test checks for compiler features rather than
compiler version, the intent of the test was to stop build attempts at
early stages, if they had been configured with a too old compiler. It
was not the intention of the test to detect compiler breakage (such as
the removal of the required compiler features in future GCC versions),
and glibc is not the place to test for compiler regressions, anyway.
Tested for powerpc64le with GCC 6.2 (built with build-many-glibcs.py).

This patch moves little endian specific POWER9 optimization files to
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/le and creates POWER9 ifunc functions
only for little endian.
My recent nan-sign tests fail to build for powerpc64le with GCC 8
because of the special compile / link options needed there for any
test using _Float128. This patch arranges for these tests to be
handled on powerpc64le similarly to other such tests.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for powerpc64le.

When building with -mlong-double-128 or -mabi=ibmlongdouble, TFtype
represents the IBM 128-bit extended floating point type, while KFtype
represents the IEEE 128-bit floating point type.
The soft float implementation of e_sqrtf128 had to redefine TFtype and
TF in order to workaround this issue. However, this behavior changes
when -mabi=ieeelongdouble is used and the macros are not necessary.

[__HAVE_FLOAT128_UNLIKE_LDBL] (TFtype, TF): Restrict TFtype

This patch creates ifunc for sqrtf128() to make use of new xssqrtqp
instruction for POWER9 when --enable-multi-arch and --with-cpu=power8
options are used on power9 system. This is achieved by explicitly
adding -mcpu=power9 flag for sqrtf128-power9.
Currently, powerpc, powerpc64, and powerpc64le imply the same set of
subdirectories from sysdeps/ieee754: flt-32, dbl-64, ldbl-128ibm, and
ldbl-opt. In preparation for the transition of the long double format -
from IBM Extended Precision to IEEE 754 128-bits floating-point - on
powerpc64le, this patch splits the shared Implies file into three
separate files (one for each of the powerpc architectures), without
changing their contents. Future patches will modify powerpc64le.

The creation of the divergent sysdeps directory for powerpc64le
commit 2f7f3cd8cd
Author: Paul E. Murphy <murphyp@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

powerpc64le: Create divergent sysdep directory for powerpc64le.
allowed float128 to be enabled for powerpc64le (little-endian) and not
for powerpc64 (big-endian). Since the only intended difference between
them was the presence or absence of the float128 interface, the sysdeps
directory for powerpc64le explicitly reused the files from powerpc64
(through the use of Implies files).
Although this works, it also means that files under the powerpc64
directory might be preferred over files under powerpc64le. For
instance, on a build for powerpc64le with target set to power9, a file
from powerpc64/power5 might get built, even though a file with the same
name exists in powerpc64le/power8. That happens because the processor
hierarchy was only defined in the sysdeps directory for powerpc64 (and
borrowed by powerpc64le).
This patch fixes this behavior, by creating new subdirectories under
powerpc64 (i.e.: powerpc64/be and powerpc64/le) and creating new Implies
files to provide the hierarchy of processors for powerpc64 and
powerpc64le separately. These changes have no effect on installed,
stripped binaries (which remain unchanged).
Tested that installed stripped binaries are unchanged and that there are
no regressions on powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
