Re: [PATCH][PR 18702] Fix wrong output of x87 registers due to truncation to double on amd64

[Ruslan Kabatsayev <b7.10110111@gmail.com>]

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.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* configure.host: Fix detection of x86_64 host when setting
	floatformats.
	* testsuite/gdb.arch/i386-float.S: Add a regression test for the fix.
	* testsuite/gdb.arch/i386-float.exp: Add checking of the test results.
