[PATCH] Handle powerpc branch instruction on gdb.trace/entry-values.exp

Hi,

This testcase currently does not handle powerpc branches. It kinda does 
in a way, because the arm/aarch64 branch instruction is the same as 
powerpc's, but the target triplet pattern is not there.

In summary, the testcase fails to locate the branch offset and causes a 
failure and the early termination of the test.

The following patch adds a separate conditional block for powerpc (to 
keep things organized), allowing the testcase to continue.

I see full passes and 1 unsupported test now (due to lack of tracepoint 
support).

Luis
