_platform/platform.py: Add alias for IBM AIX 7 powerpc
* `uname -m` is unusable in case of IBM AIX 7 as it reports the serial number of the machine. As a workaround, special case it and use the reported processor identifier. * tests/format/optionos.py: Don't use AIX for unsupported architecture `AIX` is special-cased in BuildStream, so use a different system for testing unsupported architectures.
