math/big: improve performance of mulAddVWW on ppc64x

This changes the assembly implementation on ppc64x
to improve performance by reordering some instructions.
It also eliminates an unnecessary move by changing an
ADDZE to use the correct target register.

Improvement on power9:

MulAddVWW/1         6.89ns ± 0%    7.30ns ± 0%   +5.95%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
MulAddVWW/2         8.04ns ± 0%    8.06ns ± 0%   +0.25%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
MulAddVWW/3         9.39ns ± 0%    9.39ns ± 0%     ~     (all equal)
MulAddVWW/4         9.76ns ± 0%    9.48ns ± 0%   -2.87%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
MulAddVWW/5         10.5ns ± 0%    10.3ns ± 0%   -1.90%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
MulAddVWW/10        15.4ns ± 0%    14.9ns ± 0%   -3.25%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
MulAddVWW/100        149ns ± 0%     125ns ± 0%  -16.11%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
MulAddVWW/1000      1.42µs ± 0%    1.28µs ± 0%   -9.74%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
MulAddVWW/10000     14.2µs ± 0%    12.8µs ± 0%   -9.73%  (p=1.000 n=1+1)
