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.
