[PATCH v2 3/4] perf annotate: add powerpc support

From: Naveen N. Rao <naveen.n.rao at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Powerpc has long list of branch instructions and hardcoding them in
table appears to be error-prone. So, add new function to find
instruction instead of creating table. This function dynamically
create table(list of 'struct ins'), and instead of creating object
every time, first check if list already contain object for that
nemonics.

Changes in v2:
  - Corrected few memory leaks.
  - Created Dynamic list for powerpc to optimize memory consumption
