powerpc/32: Don't always pass -mcpu=powerpc to the compiler
Since commit 4bf4f42a ("powerpc/kbuild: Set default generic machine type for 32-bit compile"), when building a 32 bits kernel with a bi-arch version of GCC, or when building a book3s/32 kernel, the option -mcpu=powerpc is passed to GCC at all time, relying on it being eventually overriden by a subsequent -mcpu=xxxx. But when building the same kernel with a 32 bits only version of GCC, that is not done, relying on gcc being built with the expected default CPU. This logic has two problems. First, it is a bit fragile to rely on whether the GCC version is bi-arch or not, because today we can have bi-arch versions of GCC configured with a 32 bits default. Second, there are some versions of GCC which don't support -mcpu=powerpc, for instance for e500 SPE-only versions. So, stop relying on this approximative logic and allow the user to decide whether he/she wants to use the toolchain's default CPU or if he/she wants to set one, and allow only possible CPUs based on the selected target.
