gcc PowerPC supports 3 representations of long double:
* -mlong-double-64
long double has the same representation of double but is mangled as `e`.
In clang, this is the default on AIX, FreeBSD and Linux musl.
* -mlong-double-128
2 possible 128-bit floating point representations:
+ -mabi=ibmlongdouble
IBM extended double format. Mangled as `g`
In clang, this is the default on Linux glibc.
+ -mabi=ieeelongdouble
IEEE 754 quadruple-precision format. Mangled as `u9__ieee128` (`U10__float128` before gcc 8.2)
This is currently unavailable.
This patch adds -mabi=ibmlongdouble and -mabi=ieeelongdouble, and thus
makes the IEEE 754 quadruple-precision long double available for
languages supported by clang.

This patch makes the driver option -mlong-double-128 available for X86
and PowerPC. The CC1 option -mlong-double-128 is available on all targets
for users to test on unsupported targets.
On PowerPC, -mlong-double-128 uses the IBM extended double format
because we don't support -mabi=ieeelongdouble yet (D64283).

-mlong-double-64 is supported on some ports of gcc (i386, x86_64, and ppc{32,64}).
On many other targets, there will be an error:
error: unrecognized command line option '-mlong-double-64'
This patch makes the driver option -mlong-double-64 available for x86
and ppc. The CC1 option -mlong-double-64 is available on all targets for
users to test on unsupported targets.
LongDoubleSize is added as a VALUE_LANGOPT so that the option can be
shared with -mlong-double-128 when we support it in clang.
Also, make powerpc*-linux-musl default to use 64-bit long double. It is
currently the only supported ABI on musl and is also how people
configure powerpc*-linux-musl-gcc.
