Switch ppc_r11 with ppc_r12

This is a preliminary patch for ppc64le ELFv2 support.  That one requires
r12 to hold a functions address at calls to normal (global) C functions.
As is r12 is also used by mini for its IMT_REG, VTABLE_REG and RGCTX_REG
to pass around values to functions outside the normal argument registers
(ugh!), so there's a conflict.  This mechanical (by sed) patch simply switches
ppc_r11 and ppc_r12 everywhere, r11 doesn't have any special use in the ABI.
