Subject: [PATCH] rust: Add PowerPC support

For now only Big Endian 32-bit PowerPC is supported, as that is the only
hardware I have.  This has been tested on the Nintendo Wii so far, but I
plan on also using it on the GameCube, Wii U and Apple G4.

These changes aren’t the only ones required to get the kernel to compile
and link on PowerPC, libcore will also have to be changed to not use
integer division to format u64, u128 and core::time::Duration, otherwise
__udivdi3() and __umoddi3() will have to be added.  I have tested this
change by replacing the three implementations with unimplemented!() and
it linked just fine.
