powerpc: Add ppc_inst_next()

In a few places we want to calculate the address of the next
instruction. Previously that was simple, we just added 4 bytes, or if
using a u32 * we incremented that pointer by 1.

But prefixed instructions make it more complicated, we need to advance
by either 4 or 8 bytes depending on the actual instruction. We also
can't do pointer arithmetic using struct ppc_inst, because it is
always 8 bytes in size on 64-bit, even though we might only need to
advance by 4 bytes.

So add a ppc_inst_next() helper which calculates the location of the
next instruction, if the given instruction was located at the given
address. Note the instruction doesn't need to actually be at the
address in memory.

Although it would seem natural for the value to be passed by value,
that makes it too easy to write a loop that will read off the end of a
page, eg:

	for (; src < end; src = ppc_inst_next(src, *src),
			  dest = ppc_inst_next(dest, *dest))

As noticed by Christophe and Jordan, if end is the exact end of a
page, and the next page is not mapped, this will fault, because *dest
will read 8 bytes, 4 bytes into the next page.

So value is passed by reference, so the helper can be careful to use
ppc_inst_read() on it.
