This commit adds three new procedures to lib/target-supports.exp for testing future PowerPC hardware. These procedures allow the testsuite to verify that the compiler can recognize and handle -mcpu=future, that the assembler supports corresponding instructions, and that the hardware itself can execute these future instructions at runtime. This will allow for enhanced testing capabilities for upcoming PowerPC architectures.
