powerpc/Makefile: Auto detect cross compiler

If no cross compiler is specified, try to auto detect one.

Look for various combinations, matching:
powerpc(64(le)?)?(-unknown)?-linux(-gnu)?-

There are more possibilities, but the above is known to find a compiler
on Fedora and Ubuntu (which use linux-gnu-), and also detects the
kernel.org cross compilers (which use linux-).

This allows cross compiling with simply:

# Ubuntu
$ sudo apt install gcc-powerpc-linux-gnu
# Fedora
$ sudo dnf install gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu

$ make ARCH=powerpc defconfig
$ make ARCH=powerpc -j 4

Inspired by arch/parisc/Makefile.
