powerpc/64s: update cpu selection options
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Update the 64s GENERIC_CPU option. POWER4 support has been dropped, so
make that clear in the option name. The POWER5_CPU option is dropped
because it's uncommon, and GENERIC_CPU covers it.

-mtune= before power8 is dropped because the minimum gcc version
supports power8, and tuning is made consistent between big and little
endian.

A 970 option is added for PowerPC 970 / G5 because they still have a
user base, and -mtune=power8 does not generate good code for the 970.

This also updates the ISA versions document to add Power4/Power4+
because I didn't realise Power4+ used 2.01.
