* Add POWER8 VSX toolchains

POWER8, though slower than POWER9, is still used in the wild; these
toolchains should still be much faster on POWER8 than POWER8 without VSX
optimizations.

* VSX toolchains: set -cpu arg in QEMU CI tests

Improves compatibility with Clang 11.

Also rename NCNN_SSE* options to NCNN_VSX_SSE* to avoid conflict between
x86 and POWER (went unnoticed before because x86 doesn't have an option
for toggling SSE 4.1).

* Add POWER9 VSX toolchains

Translating x86_64 SSE to ppc64le VSX intrinsics yields a quite large
speedup on POWER9. See this article for background:

* Add power9le docs

* power9le clang toolchain: Document Clang 13+ requirement
