selftests: Skip TM tests on synthetic TM implementations

Transactional Memory was removed from the architecture in ISA v3.1. For
threads running in P8/P9 compatibility mode on P10 a synthetic TM
implementation is provided. In this implementation, tbegin. always sets
cr0 eq meaning the abort handler is always called. This is not an issue
as users of TM are expected to have a fallback non transactional way to
make forward progress in the abort handler. The TEXASR indicates if a
transaction failure is due to a synthetic implementation.

Some of the TM self tests need a non-degenerate TM implementation for
their testing to be meaningful so check for a synthetic implementation
and skip the test if so.

selftests/powerpc: Fix and enhance TM signal context tests

Currently TM signal context tests for GPR, FPR, VMX, and VSX registers
print wrong register numbers (wrongly starting from register 0 instead
of the first register in the non-volatile subset). Besides it the
output when a mismatch happens is poor giving not much information
about which context and which register mismatches, because it prints
both contexts at the same time and not a comparison between the value
that mismatches and the value expected and, moreover, it stops
printing on the first mismatch, but it's important to know if there
are other mismatches happening beyond the first one.

For instance, this is the current output when a mismatch happens:

test: tm_signal_context_chk_gpr

Failed on 0 GPR 1 or 18446744073709551615

failure: tm_signal_context_chk_vsx

This commit fixes the register numbers printed and enhances the error
output by providing a full list of mismatching registers separated by
the context (non-speculative or speculative context), for example:

test: tm_signal_context_chk_gpr
tags: git_version:v5.2-8249-g02e970fae465-dirty
GPR14 (1st context) == 1 instead of -1 (expected)
GPR15 (1st context) == 2 instead of -2 (expected)
GPR14 (2nd context) == 0 instead of 18446744073709551615 (expected)
GPR15 (2nd context) == 0 instead of 18446744073709551614 (expected)
failure: tm_signal_context_chk_gpr

test: tm_signal_context_chk_fpu

failure: tm_signal_context_chk_vmx

test: tm_signal_context_chk_vsx
tags: git_version:v5.2-8249-g02e970fae465-dirty

failure: tm_signal_context_chk_vsx

Finally, this commit adds comments to the tests in the hope that it
will help people not so familiar with TM understand the tests.

selftests/powerpc: Add checks for transactional FPUs in signal contexts

If a thread receives a signal while transactional the kernel creates a
second context to show the transactional state of the process. This
test loads some known values and waits for a signal and confirms that
the expected values are in the signal context.
