Brad King 9d2a0900ed OS X: Use 'uname -m' for processor (#14712) ...

In commit 2412d9bc (Use 'uname -m' for processor on Cygwin, 2010-09-21)
it was pointed out that POSIX requires 'uname -m' but not 'uname -p':

On OS X x86_64, 'uname -p' returns i386 while 'uname -m' returns x86_64.
Since the latter is the POSIX-compliant option trust its value.
However, on OS X ppc, 'uname -m' returns 'Power Macintosh' so add a
special-case to convert that to 'powerpc'.
