powerpc: Redefine TIF_32BITS thread flag 

Moving TIF_32BIT to use bit 20 instead of 4 in the task flag field.

This change is making room for an upcoming new task macro
(_TIF_SYSCALL_EMU) which is preferred to set a bit in the lower 16-bits
part of the word.

This upcoming flag macro will take part in a composed macro
(_TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE) which will contain other flags as well, and it is
preferred that the whole _TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE macro only sets the lower 16
bits of a word, so, it could be handled using immediate operations (as load
immediate, add immediate, ...) where the immediate operand (SI) is limited
to 16-bits.

Another possible solution would be using the LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() macro
to load a full 64-bits word immediate, but it takes 5 operations instead of
one.

Having TIF_32BITS being redefined to use an upper bit is not a problem
since there is only one place in the assembly code where TIF_32BIT is being
used, and it could be replaced with an operation with right shift (addis),
since it is used alone, i.e. not being part of a composed macro, which has
different bits set, and would require LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE().

Tested on a 64 bits Big Endian machine running a 32 bits task.
