target/ppc: Increment PMC5 with inline insns
Profiling QEMU during Fedora 35 for PPC64 boot revealed that 6.39% of total time was being spent in helper_insns_inc(), on a POWER9 machine. To avoid calling this helper every time PMCs had to be incremented, an inline implementation of PMC5 increment and check for overflow was developed. This led to a reduction of about 12% in Fedora's boot time.
