runtime: add support for VDSO on ppc64x for use in walltime/nanotime

This change adds support for VDSO on ppc64x, making it possible to
avoid a syscall in walltime and nanotime.

BenchmarkClockVDSOAndFallbackPaths/vDSO-192             20000000    66.0 ns/op
BenchmarkClockVDSOAndFallbackPaths/Fallback-192          1000000    1456 ns/op
