    powerpc: Fix unrecognized instruction errors with recent binutils
    
    Recent versions of binutils (with commit
    b25f942e18d6ecd7ec3e2d2e9930eb4f996c258a) stopped preserving "sticky"
    options across a base `.machine` directive, nullifying the use of
    passing "-many" through GCC to the assembler.  As a result, some
    instructions which were recognized even under older, more stringent
    `.machine` directives become unrecognized instructions in that
    context.
    
    In `sysdeps/powerpc/tst-set_ppr.c`, the use of the `mfppr32` extended
    mnemonic became unrecognized, as the default compilation with GCC for
    32bit powerpc adds a `.machine ppc` in the resulting assembly, so the
    command line option `-Wa,-many` is essentially ignored, and the ISA 2.06
    instructions and mnemonics, like `mfppr32`, are unrecognized.
    
    The compilation of `sysdeps/powerpc/tst-set_ppr.c` fails with:
    Error: unrecognized opcode: `mfppr32'
    
    Add appropriate `.machine` directives in the assembly to bracket the
    `mfppr32` instruction.
    
    Part of a 2019 fix (commit 9250e6610fdb0f3a6f238d2813e319a41fb7a810) to
    the above test's Makefile to add `-many` to the compilation when GCC
    itself stopped passing `-many` to the assember no longer has any effect,
    so remove that.
