[clang] [PPC][InlineASM] Mark the 'a' constraint as unsupported (PR #96109)

[Kamau Bridgeman via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/kamaub created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/96109

'a' is an input/ouput constraint for restraining assembly variables
to an indexed or indirect address operand. It previously was marked
as supported but would throw an assertion for unknown constraint type
in the back-end when this test case was compiled. This change marks it
as unsupported until we can add full support for address operands
constraining to the compiler code generation.
