docs: powerpc: Fix tables in syscall64-abi.rst

Browse Source 
Commit 209b44c804 ("docs: powerpc: syscall64-abi.rst: fix a malformed
table") attempted to fix the formatting of tables in syscall64-abi.rst, but
inadvertently changed some register names.

Redo the tables with the correct register names, and while we're here,
clean things up to separate the registers into different rows and add
headings.

Register preservation rules
---------------------------
Register preservation rules match the ELF ABI calling sequence with the
following differences:
Register preservation rules match the ELF ABI calling sequence with some
differences.

| For the sc instruction, differences with the ELF ABI |
+--------------+--------------+------------------------------------------+
| r0 | Volatile | (System call number.) |
| rr3 | Volatile | (Parameter 1, and return value.) |
| rr4-r8 | Volatile | (Parameters 2-6.) |
| rcr0 | Volatile | (cr0.SO is the return error condition.) |

registers are nonvolatile.
