rust-target-config: PPC64 targets require explicit ABI selection to avoid build failu...

Without a specified ABI, rustc panics with the following error:
|   thread 'rustc' panicked at compiler/rustc_codegen_ssa/src/back/metadata.rs:394:21:
|   No ABI specified for this PPC64 ELF target.

This issue was occuring because of the following Rust commit:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commit/9c1180b6238d163fc384d60d85647385d9210343

As noted in the upstream changes:
If the flags do not correctly indicate the ABI,
linkers such as ld.lld assume that the ppc64 object files are always ELFv2,
which leads to broken binaries if ELFv1 is used for the object files.

Because of this, it is now required to explicitly specify the ABI for PPC64 targets
using one of the following:
"elfv1" => EF_PPC64_ABI_ELF_V1,
"elfv2" => EF_PPC64_ABI_ELF_V2,

If no ABI is specified, the Rust compiler will panic with the error:
No ABI specified for this PPC64 ELF target

To address this:
- Set 'elfv2' for powerpc64le (little-endian), which mandates ELFv2 ABI.
- Set 'elfv1' for powerpc64 (big-endian), which defaults to ELFv1 ABI.
