Subject: powerpc/64: Set default CPU in Kconfig

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 45f7091aac3546ef8112bf62836650ca0bbf0b79 upstream.
Since commit 0069f3d14e7a ("powerpc/64e: Tie PPC_BOOK3E_64 to
PPC_E500MC"), the only possible BOOK3E/64 are E500, so no need of a
default CPU over the E5500.
When the user selects book3e, they must have an e500 compatible
compiler, and it won't work anymore with the default -mcpu=power64, see
commit d6b551b8f90c ("powerpc/64e: Fix build failure with GCC
12 (unrecognized opcode: `wrteei')").
For book3s/64, replace GENERIC_CPU by POWERPC64_CPU to match the PPC32
POWERPC_CPU, and set a default mpcu value in Kconfig directly.
When a user selects a particular CPU, they must ensure the compiler has
the requested capability. Therefore, remove hidden fallback, instead
offer user the possibility to say they want to use the toolchain
default.
