utils.h provides have_hwcap() and have_hwcap2() which check for a
feature bit. Those bits are defined in asm/cputable.h, so include it
in utils.h so users of utils.h don't have to do it manually.

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 is based on the count_instructions test.
However this one also counts the number of failed stcx's, and in
conjunction with knowing the size of the stcx loop, can calculate the
total number of instructions executed even in the face of
non-deterministic stcx failures.
