[PATCH] libstdc++: simd: allow x86 -mlong-double-64

On a target that defaults to -mlong-double-64 -msse,
standard_abi_usable.cc and other tests fail to compile because of the
assert that rejects long double.  As on ppc, we can trivially make
things work for -mlong-double-64.

Regstrapped on x86_64-linux-gnu.  Also tested with -mlong-double-64 on
libstdc++ tests that triggered the static_assert.  Ok to install?


for  libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog

	* include/experimental/bits/simd.h (__intrinsic_type): Accept
	64-bit long doubles on x86 SSE.

More tolerance and less prejudice are key for inclusion and diversity.
Excluding neuro-others for not behaving ""normal"" is *not* inclusive!
