[binutils-gdb] Fix wrong output of x87 registers due to truncation to double on amd64


*** TEST RESULTS FOR COMMIT b593e3d9b00b09af43abf1e95d68e68200e3c2a5 ***

Fix wrong output of x87 registers due to truncation to double on amd64

When `info float` is used on an AMD64 system, GDB prints
floating-point values of x87 registers with raw contents like
0x361a867a8e0527397ce0 or 0xc4f988454a1ddd3cfdab wrongly.

This happens due to truncation to double, after which the former
becomes 0.0, and the latter becomes negative infinity.  This is caused
by failed detection of x86-64 host, which results in setting
gdb_host_{float,double,long_double}_format to zeros.

This commit fixes this misdetection, and adds a test to make sure
future commits don't introduce a regression here.
