target/ppc: Decrementer fix BookE semantics
The decrementer store function has logic that short-cuts the timer if a very small value is stored (0, 1, or 2) and raises an interrupt directly. There are two problem with this on BookE. First is that BookE says a decrementer interrupt should not be raised on a store of 0, only of a decrement from 1. Second is that raising the irq directly will bypass the auto-reload logic in the booke decr timer function, breaking autoreload when 1 or 2 is stored. Fix this by removing that small-value special case. It makes this tricky logic even more difficult to reason about, and it hardly matters for performance.
