drop support for powerpc64 ELF v1
* ELF v1 on powerpc64 is only barely kept on life support in a couple of Linux
distros. I don't anticipate that this will last much longer.
* Most of the Linux world has moved to powerpc64le which requires ELF v2.
* Some Linux distros have even started supporting powerpc64 with ELF v2.
* The BSD world has long since moved to ELF v2.
* We have no actual linking support for ELF v1.
* ELF v1 had confused DWARF register mappings which is becoming a problem in
our DWARF code in std.debug.
It's clear that ELF v1 is on its way out, and we never fully supported it
anyway. So let's not waste any time or energy on it going forward.
closes #5927
