powerpc: Introduce and enforce assembler checks on GPR usage

Browse source 
PowerPC general-purpose registers are historically specified as plain
numbers (0-31), which makes them hard to distinguish from immediates.
For this reason, include/ppc_asm.tmpl defines aliases named r0-r31.
This can still lead to uncaught mistakes if a register is used in place
of a number.

Instead of (e.g.) 5 use %r5, which will result in an assembler warning
if used as a number. Turn these warnings into errors by passing
`--fatal-warnings` to the assembler.

I verified with gazerbeam_defconfig (MPC83xx) and qemu-ppce500_defconfig
(MPC85xx) that this patch results in the same machine code.
