[Skiboot] [PATCH 1/2] Makefile: Remove -mno-direct-move cflag

GCC 8 warns that -mno-direct-move is depreciated. We had it there so
we wouldn't use VSX registers in skiboot, as they are not
saved/restored, however Segher confirms:

 > if you already have -mno-altivec  then -mno-direct-move does zilch

So it was never doing anything.

Resolves: open-power/skiboot#186
