libgo patch committed: Only look for data symbols on big-endian PPC64 non-AIX

Subject: libgo patch committed: Only look for data symbols on big-endian PPC64 non-AIX

The libgo gotest script runs nm to find tests to run.  It normally
looks only for T (text) symbols, but on ppc64 also looks for D (data)
symbols, because on PPC64 ELF ABI v1 function symbols are actually
descriptors in the data segment.  This patch changes the script to not
do this on AIX, and to not do it for ppc64le which always uses ELF ABI
v2.  Bootstrapped and ran libgo testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
Committed to mainline.

Ian
