[dev.power64] runtime: fix fastrand1 on power64x

fastrand1 depends on testing the high bit of its uint32 state.
For efficiency, all of the architectures implement this as a
sign bit test.  However, on power64, fastrand1 was using a
64-bit sign test on the zero-extended 32-bit state.  This
always failed, causing fastrand1 to have very short periods
and often decay to 0 and get stuck.

Fix this by using a 32-bit signed compare instead of a 64-bit
compare.  This fixes various tests for the randomization of
select of map iteration.
