POWER8 is a specific implementation of ppc64, which is by now outdated
(POWER9 has been on the market for a while). Rename arch/power8/ to
potentially cover a wider range of hardware.
TEST=Toolchains built before/after this commit can build coreboot for
emulation/qemu-power8 from before/after this commit.

Update this document with changes that should be in the release notes.
- Please use Markdown.
- See the 4.7 and 4.8 release notes for the general format.
- The chip and board additions and removals will be updated right before the release, so those do not need to be added.
General changes
- Various code cleanups
- Removed
device_tin favor ofstruct device*in ramstage code - Improve adherence to coding style
- Expand use of the postcar stage
- Add bootblock compression capability: on systems that copy the bootblock from very slow flash to ERAM, allow adding a stub that decompresses the bootblock into ERAM to minimize the amount of flash reads
- Rename the POWER8 architecture port to PPC64 to reflect that it isn't limited to POWER8
Toolchain
- Update IASL to version 10280531
