[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: The ppc64 target can run both ppc64 and ppc64le guests

When looking for a QEMU binary suitable for running ppc64le guests
we have to take into account the fact that we use the QEMU target
as key for the hash, so direct comparison is not good enough:
normalize everything that can run on the ppc64 target to
VIR_ARCH_PPC64 instead.

This approach was already used in virQEMUCapsFindBinaryForArch(),
and I've added a comment there to clarify why it's needed.
