Many tests require specific hardware features/configurations that a
typical machine might not have. As a result, it's common to see a test
is skipped. But it is tedious to find out why a test is skipped
when all it gives is the file location of the skip macro.
Convert SKIP_IF() to SKIP_IF_MSG(), with appropriate descriptions of why
the test is being skipped. This gives a general idea of why a test is
skipped, which can be looked into further if it doesn't make sense.

Some of our tests use VSX or newer VMX instructions, so need to be
skipped on older CPUs to avoid SIGILL'ing.
Similarly TAR was added in v2.07, and the PMU event used in the stcx
fail test only works on Power8 or later.

This patch adds ptrace interface test for TAR, PPR, DSCR
registers. This also adds ptrace interface based helper
functions related to TAR, PPR, DSCR register access.
