Subject: [PATCH v1] powerpc/64: Set default CPU in Kconfig

Since 0069f3d14e7a ("powerpc/64e: Tie PPC_BOOK3E_64 to PPC_E500MC"),
the only possible BOOK3E/64 are E500, so no need of a default CPU
over the E5500.
When the user selects book3e, he must have a e500 compatible compiler,
and it won't work anymore with the default -mcpu=power64, see
commit d6b551b8f90c ("powerpc/64e: Fix build failure with GCC 12
(unrecognized opcode: `wrteei')")

For book3s/64, replace GENERIC_CPU by POWERPC64_CPU to match the PPC32
POWERPC_CPU, and set a default mpcu value in Kconfig directly.

When a user selects a particular CPU, he must ensure his compiler has
the requested capability. Therefore, remove hidden fallback, instead
offer user the possibility to say he wants to use toolchain default.
