PowerPC64 ELFv2 -fpatchable-function-entry

PowerPC64 ELFv2 dual entry point functions have a couple of problems
with -fpatchable-function-entry.  One is that the nops added after the
global entry land in the global entry code which is constrained to be
a power of two number of instructions, and zero global entry code has
special meaning for linkage.  The other is that the global entry code
isn't always used on function entry, and some uses of
-fpatchable-function-entry might want to affect all entries to the
function.  So this patch arranges to put one batch of nops before the
global entry, and the other after the local entry point.

	PR target/98125
	* config/rs6000/rs6000.c (rs6000_print_patchable_function_entry): New
	function.
	(TARGET_ASM_PRINT_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY): Define.
	* config/rs6000/rs6000-logue.c: Include targhooks.h.
	(rs6000_output_function_prologue): Handle nops for
	-fpatchable-function-entry after local entry point.
