powerpc/asm: Remove UPD_CONSTR after GCC 4.9 removal

UPD_CONSTR was previously a preprocessor define for an old GCC 4.9
inline asm bug with m<> constraints.

powerpc: remove GCC version check for UPD_CONSTR

Now that GCC 5.1 is the minimum supported version, we can drop this
workaround for older versions of GCC. This adversely affected clang,
too.

powerpc/uaccess: Don't use "m<>" constraint with GCC 4.9

GCC 4.9 sometimes fails to build with "m<>" constraint in
inline assembly.

powerpc: move ASM_CONST and stringify_in_c() into asm-const.h

This patch moves ASM_CONST() and stringify_in_c() into
dedicated asm-const.h, then cleans all related inclusions.
