Lynn Boger 5b14c7b324 cmd/asm, cmd/internal/obj/ppc64: avoid unnecessary load zeros
When instructions add, and, or, xor, and movd have
constant operands in some cases more instructions are
generated than necessary by the assembler.

This adds more opcode/operand combinations to the optab
and improves the code generation for the cases where the
size and sign of the constant allows the use of 1
instructions instead of 2.

Example of previous code:
	oris r3, r0, 0
	ori  r3, r3, 65533

now:
	ori r3, r0, 65533

This does not significantly reduce the overall binary size
because the improvement depends on the constant value.
Some procedures show a 1-2% reduction in size. This improvement
could also be significant in cases where the extra instructions
occur in a critical loop.

Testcase ppc64enc.s was added to cmd/asm/internal/asm/testdata
with the variations affected by this change.

Updates #23845
