gnu: Simplify the use of --with-long-double-128.

Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/48825>.

In short, this change adds the hard-coded "--with-long-double-128" configure
option in one place and removes it from two other places.  This changes and
simplifies the use of this option for various architectures that start with
the string "powerpc".

* gnu/packages/gcc.scm (gcc-configure-flags-for-triplet): Add a clause for
targets starting with "powerpc64le-" or "powerpc-" which adds the
"--with-long-double-128" option.  This causes any package using this procedure
to be built using this new option on these architectures.  In particular, this
affects the gcc package and the gcc-final package, in addition to all the
other versions of GCC defined in (gnu packages gcc).
* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (gcc-boot0)[#:configure-flags]: Remove the
code that adds the "--with-long-double-128" configure option for all
architectures starting with "powerpc", since it is now redundant on the
architectures where it is needed. The gcc-boot0 package uses (and adds to) the
gcc package's configure options. This means that the above change in gcc.scm
is sufficient to ensure that the gcc-boot0 package's configure options will
include "--with-long-double-128" on powerpc64le and powerpc architectures.
Additionally, since the option is apparently not required on the big-endian
powerpc64 architecture, this change also has the nice effect of omitting the
option in that case.
* gnu/packages/cross-base.scm (cross-gcc-arguments)[#:configure-flags]: Remove
the code that adds the "--with-long-double-128" configure option for
powerpc64le, since it is now redundant. The cross-gcc-arguments procedure uses
(and adds to) the configure options of its xgcc argument (a package).  This
means that regardless of which gcc from gcc.scm is used as the xgcc, the above
change in gcc.scm is sufficient to ensure that the cross-gcc-arguments
procedure's configure options will include "--with-long-double-128" on the
powerpc64le and powerpc architectures.
