Fast catenation for Power7.

  From: Vidya Ranganathan <vidya@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

An IFUNC version for POWER7 to call __strlen_power7/__strcpy_power7 following
logic at glibc-git/sysdeps/powerpc/strcat.c has been created. __strlen_power7
and __strcpy_power7 performs aligned memory access and improves performance
significantly.

Change log:
        * string/strcat.c: Using macro to redefine symbol name.
        * sysdeps/powerpc/strcat.c: Using macro to redefine symbol name.
        * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/Makefile: Add strcat multiarch
	optimizations.
        * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c:
        (__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Likewise.
        * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strcat.c: New file:
        multiarch strcat for PPC64.
        * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strcat-ppc64.c: New file
        * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/multiarch/strcat-power7.c: New file

Hi Vidya,

Patch looks ok in general, some comments below

For future patch it is usual to describe in which platform you have tested it.

Usually for such entry, that address macros and defines, it is usual to put the symbol
between '[' and ']', as:

	* sysdeps/powerpc/strcat.c [STRCAT]: Using macro to redefine symbol
	name.

I see the patch does not require this modification, since it uses powerpc one version
at sysdeps/powerpc.  Please remove this modification.
