Remove ppc64le assembly.

We no longer have a need to support ppc64le, nor do we have any testing
story for the assembly we previously had. Remove all ppc64le-specific
assembly.

This CL stops short of removing it from base.h. That'll be done in a
follow-up CL, just to separate which removals are for the assembly and
which removals remove all support.

Update-Note: After this change, ppc64le builds drop assembly
optimizations and will fallback to a generic C-based AES implementation.

BoringSSL

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.

BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.

Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
