internal/bytealg: implement bytes.Count in asm for ppc64x

This adds an asm implementation for the Count function in ppc64x.
The Go code that manipulates a byte at a time is especially
inefficient on ppc64x, so an asm implementation is a significant
improvement.

bytes:
name               old time/op   new time/op    delta
CountSingle/10-8    23.1ns ± 0%    18.6ns ± 0%    -19.48%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
CountSingle/32-8    60.4ns ± 0%    19.0ns ± 0%    -68.54%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
CountSingle/4K-8    7.29µs ± 0%    0.45µs ± 0%    -93.80%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
CountSingle/4M-8    7.49ms ± 0%    0.45ms ± 0%    -93.97%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
CountSingle/64M-8    127ms ± 0%       9ms ± 0%    -92.53%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
