powerpc: Remove support for PowerPC 601

PowerPC 601 has been retired.

Remove all associated specific code.

CPU_FTRS_PPC601 has CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE and CPU_FTR_COMMON.

CPU_FTR_COMMON is already present via other CPU_FTRS.
None of the remaining CPU selects CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE.

So CPU_FTRS_PPC601 can be removed from the possible features,
hence can be removed completely.

It must be accessed using mftb/mftbu

Due to this, there is a number of places with #ifdef CONFIG_8xx

This patch defines new macros MFTBL(x) and MFTBU(x) on the same model
as MFTB(x) and tries to make use of them as much as possible.

In arch/powerpc/include/asm/timex.h, we also remove the ifdef
for the asm() operands as the compiler doesn't mind unused operands

powerpc: Convert some mftb/mftbu into mfspr

Some CPUs (such as e500v1/v2) don't implement mftb and will take a
trap. mfspr should work on everything that has a timebase, and is the
preferred instruction according to ISA v2.06.

Currently we get away with mftb on 85xx because the assembler converts
it to mfspr due to -Wa,-me500. However, that flag has other effects
that are undesireable for certain targets (e.g. lwsync is converted to
sync), and is hostile to multiplatform kernels. Thus we would like to
stop setting it for all e500-family builds.

mftb/mftbu instances which are in 85xx code or common code are
converted. Instances which will never run on 85xx are left alone.
