PPC64 code has very complicated cmpxchg functions in MacroAssembler. We should have at least a unified argument list for the different types and the features should be usable with all types.
I have also cleaned up the `RegisterOrConstant` functions because they are used by the cmpxchg code.

One difference in the argument list still exists: `cmpxchgb` and `cmpxchgh` use extra temp registers to support older processors. They should get removed with [JDK-8331859](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8331859).
