runtime: get ppc64x ISA level and hardware capabilities from HWCAP/HWCAP2

This implements a check that can be done at runtime for the ISA level and
hardware capability. It follows the same implementation as in s390x.

These checks will be important as we enable new instructions and write go
asm implementations using those.

Updates #15403
Fixes #16643
