[erlang-patches] Fix matching floating point on middle-endian machines

[Johannes Weißl]

Hello,

This patch fixes matching of floating point numbers on middle-endian
platforms (ARM in my case). The error can be reproduced in QEMU using
this image: http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/
It builds up on Mike Sperbers patch (OTP-10209). Without this patch, the
float matching tests in bs_match_misc_SUITE fail.

Here is a simple error example:
1> <<_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_>> = <<1.25/float>>.
<<63,244,0,0,0,0,0,0>>
2> <<1.25/float>> = <<63,244,0,0,0,0,0,0>>.
** exception error: no match of right hand side value <<63,244,0,0,0,0,0,0>>
