[PowerPC] Fix calls to non-function objects

Looking at r225438 inspired me to see how the PowerPC backend handled the
situation (calling a bitcasted TLS global), and it turns out we also produced
an error (cannot select ...). What it means to "call" something that is not a
function is implementation and platform specific, but in the name of doing
something (besides crashing), this makes sure we do what GCC does (treat all
such calls as calls through a function pointer -- meaning that the pointer is
assumed, as is the convention on PPC, to point to a function descriptor
structure holding the actual code address along with the function's TOC pointer
and environment pointer). As GCC does, we now do the same for calling regular
(non-TLS) non-function globals too.

I'm not sure whether this is the most useful way to define the behavior, but at
least we won't be alone.
