PowerPC: Detect AltiVec support on OS X

libjpeg-turbo's AltiVec SIMD extensions previously assumed that AltiVec
instructions were available on all Power Macs that supported OS X 10.4
"Tiger" (the earliest version of OS X that libjpeg-turbo has ever
supported), but Tiger can actually run on PowerPC G3 processors, which
lack AltiVec instructions.  This commit enables run-time detection of
AltiVec instructions on OS X/PowerPC systems if AltiVec instructions are
not force-enabled at compile time (using -maltivec).  This allows the
same build of libjpeg-turbo to support G3, G4, and G5 Power Macs.

Closes #609

+2.0.8 ESR
+=========
+
+### Significant changes relative to 2.0.7 ESR:
+
+1. libjpeg-turbo now performs run-time detection of AltiVec instructions on
+OS X/PowerPC systems if AltiVec instructions are not enabled at compile time.
+This allows both AltiVec-equipped (PowerPC G4 and G5) and non-AltiVec-equipped
+(PowerPC G3) CPUs to be supported using the same build of libjpeg-turbo.
