Add a helper to check if a given offset is within the branch range for a
powerpc conditional branch instruction, and update some sites to use the
new helper.

<title>powerpc: Don't use 'struct ppc_inst' to reference instruction location</title>

'struct ppc_inst' is an internal representation of an instruction, but
in-memory instructions are and will remain a table of 'u32' forever.

Replace all 'struct ppc_inst *' used for locating an instruction in
memory by 'u32 *'. This removes a lot of undue casts to 'struct
ppc_inst *'.

It also helps locating ab-use of 'struct ppc_inst' dereference.

In ppc_function_entry() we look for a specific set of instructions by
masking the instructions and comparing with a known value. Currently
those known values are just literal hex values, and we recently
discovered one of them was wrong.

Instead construct the values using the existing constants we have for
defining various fields of instructions.

Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc.
This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words.

However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean
this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed
Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix
followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction.
No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first.
Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64.

Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word
instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively
have word instructions on powerpc32.

In preparation for instructions having a more complex data type start
using a macro, ppc_inst(), for making an instruction out of a u32.  A
macro is used so that instructions can be used as initializer elements.
Currently this does nothing, but it will allow for creating a data type
that can represent prefixed instructions.
