powerpc: Add timer, performance monitor and machine check counts to /proc/interrupts

With NO_HZ it is useful to know how often the decrementer is going off. The
patch below adds an entry for it and also adds it into the /proc/stat
summaries.

While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions.
I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate
when using the perf tool. Since it's possible to take a completely
handled machine check on a System p box it also sounds like a good idea to
keep a machine check summary.

The event naming matches x86 to keep gratuitous differences to a minimum.
