[Qemu-ppc] [RFC PATCH] target-ppc: Register CPU class per family only when needed

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

At the moment when running in KVM mode, QEMU registers "host" class to
match the current CPU PVR value. It also registers another CPU class
with a CPU family name os if we run QEMU on POWER7 machine, "host" and
"POWER7" classes are created, this way we can always use "-cpu POWER7"
on the actual POWER7 machine.

The existing code uses DeviceClass::desc field of the CPU class as
a source for the class name; it was pointed out that it is wrong to use
user-visible string as a type name.

This adds a common CPU class name into PowerPCCPUClass struct.
This makes registration of a CPU named after the family conditional -
PowerPCCPUClass::common_cpu_name has to be non-zero. Only POWER7/POWER8
families have this field initialized by now.
