Envoy: ppc64: wee8 dependency not supported on ppc64le

[cmluciano]

Title: One line description
ppc64 build is not explicitly supported for wee8 gen_rule cmd file.

Description:
The ppc64le build has been failing since https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/commit/319a9a647f19036d831a75f68350c90e98bfc365 was introduced. The gen_rule cmd does not include the instructions inside of https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/master/bazel/external/wee8.genrule_cmd#L6 so it errors out.

I am working on a fix to insert the correct arch and flags to gn and also adding gn to the ppc build container.

Repro steps:

Ok I made sure that our build-container has gn now and added the following patch

Unfortunately I am now getting an error that might be more to do with bazel than wee8 now

Thanks @cmluciano. Hopefully someone with better bazel foo than I knows what that last error means.
