fix #20780

removes ppc meterpreters, remove them from specs.

@adfoster-r7 @zeroSteiner, I think there is something that has to be done to remove them from the module cache .json?

I am trying to fix the display issue where the fetch payload still shows the ppc meterpreters after removal.

You'll need to remove the adapter payloads from modules/payloads/adapters/cmd/linux/<proto>/

I don't this this is what I want to achieve, I don't want to remove support for one of those arch on fetch payloads. I just want to remove the suggestion of payloads that are not present in framework anymore, i believe this is more related to the module cache.

This is dead code now. We don't have any PPC64LE payloads.
