powerpc: Add configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc

Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.

The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.

The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.

The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.

It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

This option tells the compiler NOT to build the code under
arch/powerpc with the -Werror flag (which means warnings
are treated as errors).
Only enable this if you are hitting a build failure in the
arch/powerpc code caused by a warning, and you don't feel
inclined to fix it.
