all: port to AIX/ppc64

[trex58]

We have started the port of golang v1.10/v1.11 to AIX / ppc64.
It will be available on AIX 7.2 first, maybe on AIX 7.1 too (probably with recent TLs).
Required hardware is Power8 or 9.
64bit only.

Bootstrap with GCC Go 8.1 has been done.
golang tests failures are now being fixed.

Port of golang.org/x has also being started.
First: sys/unix, It will work for both GCC Go and golang on AIX.

We plan to finalize the port in August/September. Available first as RPMs on BullFreeware.

Wonderful! Will you guys consider AIX 6.1 ?

No. Sorry. AIX 6.1 does not provide all the features required by Go (either GCC Go or golang).
