[9/9] Support __float128 format on Intel and Power

["Ulrich Weigand" <uweigand at de dot ibm dot com>]

Hello,

now that all the prerequisites are in place, this patch finally adds support
for handling the __float128 type on Intel and Power, by providing appropriate
platform-specific versions of the floatformat_for_type callback.

Since at this point we do not yet have any indication in the debug info to
distinguish different floating-point formats of the same length, we simply
use the type name as hint.  Types named "__float128" get the IEEE format.

A new test case does some simple verification that the format is decoded
correctly, using both __float128 and "long double" to make sure using both
in the same file still works.

Note that this still only supports basic format decoding and encoding.
We do not yet support the GNU extension 'g' suffix for __float128 constants.
In addition, since all *arithmetic* on floating-point values is still
performed in native host "long double" arithmetic, if that format is not
able to encode all target __float128 values, we may get incorrect results.
(To fix this would require implementing fully synthetic target floating-
point arithmetic along the lines of GCC's real.c, presumably using MPFR.)

Tested on x64_64-linux and powerpc64le-linux.

Bye,
Ulrich

ChangeLog:

	* i386-tdep.c (i386_floatformat_for_type): New function.
	(i386_gdbarch_init): Install it.
	* ppc-linux-tdep.c (ppc_floatformat_for_type): New function.
	(ppc_linux_init_abi): Install it.

testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.base/float128.c: New file.
	* gdb.base/float128.exp: Likewise.
