ppc.tmpl: work around yaboot's crippling fear of backslashes

Browse Source 
If yaboot so much as catches a whiff of a backslash in yaboot.conf, it
will reject the entire file. No bootloader config means no booting.

So as long as we're still using yaboot on PPC, we need to use ISO volume
labels it can handle. So: filter the isolabel, replacing any non-ASCII
characters with underscores.
