Unbreak floating point on middle-endian machines.

On some ARMs (and maybe other platforms), doubles are stored with the
the two 32-bit words reversed with respect to more common
architectures.

The symptom is this:

> io_lib:write(1.0).
"0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000005299808824"

Detect that and account for it when decoding floats.
