[PATCH V2 6/9] tools/perf: Update instruction tracking for powerpc

Add instruction tracking function "update_insn_state_powerpc" for
powerpc. Example sequence in powerpc:

ld      r10,264(r3)
mr      r31,r3
<<after some sequence>
ld      r9,312(r31)

Consider ithe sample is pointing to: "ld r9,312(r31)".
Here the memory reference is hit at "312(r31)" where 312 is the offset
and r31 is the source register. Previous instruction sequence shows that
register state of r3 is moved to r31. So to identify the data type for r31
access, the previous instruction ("mr") needs to be tracked and the
state type entry has to be updated. Current instruction tracking support
in perf tools infrastructure is specific to x86. Patch adds this for
powerpc and adds "mr" instruction to be tracked.
