Bug#818892: autopkgtest does not support ppc64el

[Breno Leitao]

Package: autopkgtest
Version: 3.20.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

autopkgtest script adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud does not support ppc64el platform,
causing the following 'crash':

	WARNING: python-distro-info not installed, falling back to determining default release from currently installed release
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "/usr/bin/adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud", line 336, in <module>
	    args = parse_args()
	  File "/usr/bin/adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud", line 106, in parse_args
	    default=qemu_default_cmds[default_arch],
	KeyError: 'ppc64el'

I just created a patch that seems to solve the problem.
