AIX assembler is a bit more strict than GNU assembler. Thus, adjust
the XCOFF asm files to be able to accept both assembler.
For PPC64 jump and make files, most of the work have already been
made recently, only the functions' header needs to be updated.
For PPC64 ontop and PPC32 files, the algorithms where also wrong.
So the whole files have been reworked.
Tested with boost/context, boost/fiber and boost/coroutine2.
Note that the test_sscanf is still failing in ppc32 because of
float precision. (3.13999 is returned instead of 3.14).

The PPC32 stack layout is based on AIX documentation: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=overview-runtime-process-stack For PPC64, as it seems to work fine and is already being used in php, I've kept the current layout based on PPC64 Linux version.
