[PATCH 3/3] PowerPC: Force IBM long double for conversion test.

The test c-c++-common/dfp/convert-bfp-11.c explicit expects long double to use
the IBM 128-bit extended double format.  In particular, some of the tests
expect an infinity to be created if decimal values that are converted that are
too large for IBM extended double.  However, the numbers do fit in the range
for IEEE 128-bit format, since it has a larger exponent than the IBM 128-bit
format.  The test fails because an infinity is not generated.

This patch explicitly sets the long double type to IBM extended double.

I have run tests on a little endian power9 system with 3 compilers:
    *	One compiler using the default IBM 128-bit format;
    *	One compiler using the IEEE 128-bit format; (and)
    *	One compiler using 64-bit long doubles.

I have also tested compilers on a big endian power8 system with a compiler
defaulting to power8 code generation and another with the default cpu set.

Can I check this patch into the master branch?

	* c-c++-common/dfp/convert-bfp-11.c: Force using IBM 128-bit long
	double.  Remove check for 64-bit long double.
