selftests/powerpc: Skip vmx/vsx/tar/etc tests on older CPUs

Some of our tests use VSX or newer VMX instructions, so need to be
skipped on older CPUs to avoid SIGILL'ing.

Similarly TAR was added in v2.07, and the PMU event used in the stcx
fail test only works on Power8 or later.

selftests/powerpc: Test the preservation of FPU and VMX regs across syscall

Test that the non volatile floating point and Altivec registers get
correctly preserved across the fork() syscall.

fork() works nicely for this purpose, the registers should be the same for
both parent and child
