Include dummy ASM_END definition in mpn/asm-defs.m4 for PowerPC

For both -O -S and -O -S -fPIC, the compiler generates:
getlocaladdr:
lis r3, %hiadj(localvar)
addi r3, r3, %lo(localvar)
blr
getglobaladdr:
lis r3, %hiadj(globalvar)
addi r3, r3, %lo(globalvar)
blr
Also, looking at mode1o.asm, it looks like it chooses between table-lookup
via LEA and computing the number arithmetically. If we can't get a generic
version of LEA for PPC, maybe you could have it default to the arithmetic
version.
