crypto/elliptic: add asm implementation for p256 on ppc64le

This adds an asm implementation of the p256 functions used
in crypto/elliptic, utilizing VMX, VSX to improve performance.
On a power9 the improvement is:

elliptic benchmarks:
name            old time/op    new time/op    delta
BaseMult          1.40ms ± 0%    1.44ms ± 0%   +2.66%  (p=0.029 n=4+4)
BaseMultP256       317µs ± 0%      50µs ± 0%  -84.14%  (p=0.029 n=4+4)
ScalarMultP256     854µs ± 2%     214µs ± 0%  -74.91%  (p=0.029 n=4+4)

ecdsa benchmarks:
name           old time/op    new time/op    delta
SignP256          377µs ± 0%     111µs ± 0%  -70.57%  (p=0.029 n=4+4)
SignP384         6.55ms ± 0%    6.48ms ± 0%   -1.03%  (p=0.029 n=4+4)
VerifyP256       1.19ms ± 0%    0.26ms ± 0%  -78.54%  (p=0.029 n=4+4)
KeyGeneration     319µs ± 0%      52µs ± 0%  -83.56%  (p=0.029 n=4+4)

This implemenation is based on the s390x implementation, using
comparable instructions for most with some minor changes where the
instructions are not quite the same.

Some changes were also needed since s390x is big endian and ppc64le
is little endian.

This also enables the fuzz_test for ppc64le.
