[kvm-unit-tests PATCH] powerpc/run: if qemu-system-ppc64 not available try for qemu-kvm

[Balamuruhan S]

In RHEV 4.1 with RHEL7.3 qemu-system-ppc64 is not available and the tests
skips with "qemu-system-ppc64 not found." instead qemu-kvm is available in
/usr/libexec and can be used to proceed the test.

Maybe we should generalize/simply the QEMU search that x86/run does, and
put it in scripts/arch-run.bash.  That way we can add all alternative
paths in one place and use the same search function for all arches.
