cmd/compile: fix uint64 to float casts on ppc64

Adds the FCFIDU instruction and uses it instead of the FCFID
instruction for unsigned integer to float casts. This change means
that unsigned integers do not have to be cast to signed integers
before being cast to a floating point value. Therefore it is no
longer necessary to insert instructions to detect and fix
values that overflow int64.

The previous code generating the uint64 to int64 cast handled
overflow by truncating the uint64 value. This truncation can
change the result of the rounding performed by the integer to
float cast.

The FCFIDU instruction was added in Power ISA 2.06B.

Fixes #15539.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
