    [gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.ada/float-bits.exp for powerpc64le

    On powerpc64le-linux, I run into:
    ...
    (gdb) print 16llf#4000921fb54442d18469898cc51701b8#^M
    $9 = <invalid float value>^M
    (gdb) FAIL: gdb.ada/float-bits.exp: print \
      16llf#4000921fb54442d18469898cc51701b8#
    ...

    The problem is that we're using a hex string for the 128-bit IEEE quad long
    double format, but the actual long double float format is:
    ...
    gdbarch_dump: long_double_format = floatformat_ibm_long_double_little^M
    ...

    Fix this by using the hex string obtained by compiling test.c:
    ...
    long double a = 5.0e+25L;
    ...
    like so:
    ...
    $ gcc -mlittle test.c -c -g
    ...
    and running gdb:
    ...
    $ gdb -q -batch test.o -ex "p /x a"
    $1 = 0xc1e1c000000000004544adf4b7320335
    ...
    and likewise for -mbig:
    ...
    $ gdb -q -batch test.o -ex "p /x a"
    $1 = 0x4544adf4b7320335c1e1c00000000000
    ...

    Tested on powerpc64le-linux.

    I excercised the case of floatformat_ibm_long_double_big by
    using "set endian big" in the test-case.

    Note that for this patch to work correctly, recent commit aaa79cd62b8
("[gdb]
    Improve printing of float formats") is required.
