[PowerPC][AIX] Make PIC the default relocation model for AIX

Summary:
The `llc` tool currently defaults to Static relocation model and generates non-relocatable code for 32-bit Power.
This is not desirable on AIX where we always generate Position Independent Code (PIC). This patch makes PIC the default relocation model for AIX.
