    PowerPC: remove wrong ceill implementation for PowerPC64
    
    The ceill assembly implementation (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_ceill.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_ceill.c instead fixes the failing math.
    
    Fixes BZ#16701.

-/* long double [fp1,fp2] ceill (long double x [fp1,fp2])
-   IEEE 1003.1 ceil function.
-
-   PowerPC64 long double uses the IBM extended format which is
-   represented two 64-floating point double values. The values are
-   non-overlapping giving an effective precision of 106 bits. The first
-   double contains the high order bits of mantisa and is always ceiled
-   to represent a normal ceiling of long double to double. Since the
-   long double value is sum of the high and low values, the low double
-   normally has the opposite sign to compensate for the this ceiling.
-
-   For long double there are two cases:
-   1) |x| < 2**52, all the integer bits are in the high double.
-      ceil the high double and set the low double to -0.0.
-   2) |x| >= 2**52, ceiling involves both doubles.
-      See the comment before lable .L2 for details.
