rS339514: powerpcspe: Implement SPE exception handling

Summary

The Signal Processing Engine (SPE) found in Freescale e500 cores (and
others) offloads IEEE-754 compliance (NaN, Inf handling, overflow,
underflow) to software, most likely as a means of simplifying the APU
silicon. Some software, like AbiWord, needs full IEEE-754 compliance,
including NaN handling. Implement the necessary bits to enable it.

Test Plan

Tested on a P1022, both a simple floating point program and polkitd.
polkitd uses spidermonkey, and is a great test for FPU conformance.

Aside from one inline note, this looks OK for non-SPE.

126 ↗	(On Diff #48817)	Doesn't this break on non-SPE systems?

sys/powerpc/booke/spe.c
126 ↗	(On Diff #48817)	spe.c is only built for powerpcspe, so no :)
