powerpc64le: stand fixes

Fix boot1 and loader on PowerPC64 little-endian (LE).

Due to endian issues, boot1 couldn't find the UFS boot partition
and loader wasn't able to load the kernel. Most of the issues
happened because boot1 and loader were BE binaries trying to access
LE UFS partitions and because loader expects the kernel ELF image
to use the same endian as itself.

To fix these issues, boot1 and loader are now built as LE binaries
on PPC64LE. To support this, the functions that call OpenFirmware
were enhanced to correctly perform endian conversion on its input
and output arguments and to change the CPU into BE mode before
making the calls, as OpenFirmware always runs in BE. Besides that,
some other small fixes were needed.

powerpc64: change CAS to support Radix MMU

Use radix_mmu environment variable to select between Hash or Radix
MMU, when performing the CAS method call. This matches kernel's
behavior, by selecting Hash MMU by default and Radix if radix_mmu
is not zero, to make sure that both loader and kernel always select
the same MMU.

The device tree is queried to detect Radix/GTSE support and to
find out if CAS is supported, making the old CPU version and HV
bit checks unnecessary now.

[PPC64] Implement CAS

[PPC64] Implement CAS

Guest PPC OSs running under a hypervisor may communicate the features they
support, in order for the hypervisor to expose a virtualized machine in the way
the client (guest OS) expects (see LoPAPR 1.1 - B.6.2.3).

This is done by calling the "/ibm,client-architecture-support" (CAS) method,
informing supported features in option vectors. Until now, FreeBSD wasn't
using CAS, but instead relied on hypervisor/QEMU's defaults.

The problem is that, without CAS, it is very inconvenient to run POWER9 VMs on
a POWER9 host running with radix enabled. This happens because, in this case,
the QEMU default is to present the guest OS a dual MMU (HPT/RPT), instead of
presenting a regular HPT MMU, as FreeBSD expects, resulting in an early panic.
The known workarounds required either changing the host to disable radix or
passing a flag to QEMU to run in a POWER8 compatible mode.

With CAS, FreeBSD is now able to communicate that it wants an HPT MMU,
independent of the host setup, which now makes FreeBSD work on POWER9/pseries,
with KVM enabled and without hugepages (support added in a previous commit).

As CAS is invoked through OpenFirmware's call-method interface, it needs to be
performed early, when OpenFirmware is still operational. Besides, now that FDT
is the default way to inspect the device tree on PPC, OFW call-method feature
will be unavailable by default, when control is passed to the kernel. Because
of this, the call to CAS is being performed at the loader, instead of at the
kernel.

To avoid regressions with old platforms, this change uses CAS only on
POWER8/POWER9.
