PPC NCG: Emit more portable `fcmpu 0, ...` instead of `fcmpu cr0, ...`
Use `fcmpu 0, ...` rather than `fcmpu cr0, ...` for better portability since some non-GNU assembler (such as IBM's `as`) tend to not support the symbolic register name `cr0`. This matches the syntax that GCC emits for PPC targets.
