Enable support for GCC plugins on powerpc.

Add an additional version check in gcc-plugins-check to advise users to
upgrade to gcc 5.2+ on powerpc to avoid issues with header files (gcc <=
4.6) or missing copies of rs6000-cpus.def (4.8 to 5.1 on 64-bit targets).

Open to bikeshedding on the gcc version check.

Compile tested with all plugins enabled on gcc 4.6-6.2,
x86->ppc{32,64,64le} and 4.8-6.2 ppc64le->ppc{32,64,64le}. Thanks to
Chris Smart for help with this.

I think it's best to take this through powerpc#next with an ACK from
Kees/Emese?
