Subject: Implement std.start for powerpc64le

This is a bit hacky since we end up doing more than just grabbing
the stack pointer in the inline assembly block. Ideally _start would
be implemented in pure asm for powerpc64le, but this will do for now.

Still to be implemented is powerpc, powerpc64, and powerpc64 (ELFv2)
support. The latter will just require correctly determing target ABI
for powerpc64 and enabling the existing powerpc64le implementation for
it.
