[PATCH 1/5] ARM: plt_size functions need to read instructions in right byte order

elf32_arm_plt0_size and elf32_arm_plt_size read instructions
to determine what is size of PLT entry. However it does not
read instruction correctly in case of ARM big endian V7 case.
In this case instructions are still kept in little endian
order (BE8).

Because of that in armv7b case gdb.base/dprintf-pending.exp
test is failing - It cannot find 'pendfunc@plt' symbol.
And that symbol is not created because elf32_arm_get_synthetic_symtab
function does not create 'pendfunc@plt' symbol for symbols
from PLT after elf32_arm_plt0_size returns -1.

Fix is to introduce code reading functions read_code32,
read_code16 which would read code content in little endian
mode when it is armv7b executabe (i.e e_flags has EF_ARM_BE8)
set. elf32_arm_plt0_size and elf32_arm_plt_size to use these
functions in place where H_GET_32, H_GET_16 were used before.

+ * elf32-arm.c (read_code32): New function to read 32 bit
+ arm instruction.
+ (read_code16): New function to read 16 bit thumb instrution.
+ (elf32_arm_plt0_size, elf32_arm_plt_size) change code to use
+ read_code32, read_code16 to read instruction to deal with
+ BE8 arm case.
