GCC support enabling secureplt for powerpc64.

From [1]
"PowerPC has two PLT models: BSS-PLT and Secure-PLT. BSS-PLT uses
runtime code generation to generate the PLT stubs. Secure-PLT was
introduced with GCC 4.1 and Binutils 2.17 (base has GCC 4.2.1 and
Binutils 2.17), and is a more secure PLT format, using a read-only
linkage table, with the dynamic linker populating a non-executable
index table."

This option is always enabled by glibc testing script
called build-many-glibcs.py [1]. This script exist since
glibc 2.25.

Runtime tested with qemu_ppc64_e5500_defconfig.
