Add -mcpu=future.
-This patch adds support for a new PowerPC cpu (future). Until it is announced,
-the features of future processors may be changed. These patches allow people to
-use the new features of processors being developed. If/when the a processor is
-announced that has the features, future GCC revisions will be modified to add
-support for that new machine.

-If the features provided by -mcpu=future are incorporated into an official

+This patch adds support for the -mcpu=future option. New processor features,

-If the user uses -mcpu=future, -mfuture is passed to the assembler.

-I added support so that if GCC is configured with the --with-cpu=future option
