libvirt: add hugepages support for Power

Browse Source 
Power architectures (arch.PPC64LE and arch.PPC64) support huge pages and
transparent huge pages. This patch just enables it on nova libvirt driver. A
reno note was also added to track this new feature.

This change also enables the test_does_want_hugepages unit test to run on the
architectures that support huge pages.
