    [gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.base/write_mem.exp for big endian
    
    On s390x-linux (big endian), I run into:
    ...
    (gdb) x /xh main^M
    0x1000638 <main>:       0x0000^M
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/write_mem.exp: x /xh main
    ...
    
    In contrast, on x86_64-linux (little endian), we have the expected:
    ...
    (gdb) x /xh main^M
    0x4004a7 <main>:        0x4242^M
    (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/write_mem.exp: x /xh main
    ...
    
    The problem is that the test-case hard-codes expectations about endiannes by
    writing an int-sized value (4 bytes in this case) and then printing only a
    halfword by using "/h" (so, two bytes).
    
    If we print 4 bytes, we have for s390x:
    ...
    0x1000638 <main>:       0x00004242^M
    ...
    and for x86_64:
    ...
    0x4004a7 <main>:        0x00004242^M
    ...
    
    Fix this by removing the "/h".
    
    Tested on x86_64-linux and s390x-linux.
