[PATCH v3 1/6] Fixup for "objtool/powerpc: Add --mcount specific implementation"

Make arch_decode_instruction() more future proof and less error prone:
- Use local vars for type and imm so that GCC will detect when we
forget to update them
- Handle imm outside the branch type check
- Adapt len for prefixed instructions

Handle the four branch types b, bl, ba, bla

Part of it should probably go into "objtool/powerpc: Enable objtool
to be built on ppc" for instance the setup of the len. Maybe all the
skeleton with the local vars, the switch with its default, etc ...
Then following patches only have to add stuff inside the switch.
