Add PowerPC paravirtualization support

Cannot read or write MSR when executing in user mode. This
is used when RTEMS_PARAVIRT is defined.

Provide alternate methods to disable/enable interrupts

Closes #3306.

34 *
35 * Paravirtualization on the PowerPC makes the following assumptions:
36 *
37 *   - RTEMS executes in user space
38 *   - In user space there is no access to the MSR.
39 *   - Interrupt enable/disable support using the MSR must be disabled
40 *     and replaced with BSP provided methods which are adapted to the
41 *     hosting environment.
