For PowerPC instruction "addi", use constraint "b".

Without "b", a variant of the tas() code miscompiles on macOS 10.4.
This may also fix a compilation failure involving macOS 10.1.  Today's
compilers have been allocating acceptable registers with or without this
change, but this future-proofs the code by precisely conveying the
acceptable registers.  Back-patch to 9.4 (all supported versions).

* The second operand of addi can hold a constant zero or a register number,
* hence constraint "=&b" to avoid allocating r0. "b" stands for "address
* base register"; most operands having this register-or-zero property are
* address bases, e.g. the second operand of lwax.
*
* NOTE: per the Enhanced PowerPC Architecture manual, v1.0 dated 7-May-2002,
* an isync is a sufficient synchronization barrier after a lwarx/stwcx loop.
* On newer machines, we can use lwsync instead for better performance.
