PowerPC: fix _Float128 type output string
PowerPC supports two 128-bit floating point formats, the IBM long double and IEEE 128-bit float. The issue is the DWARF information does not distinguish between the two. There have been proposals of how to extend the DWARF information as discussed in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104194 but has not been fully implemented. GCC introduced the _Float128 internal type as a work around for the issue. The workaround is not transparent to GDB. The internal _Float128 type name is printed rather then the user specified long double type. This patch adds a new gdbarch method to allow PowerPC to detect the GCC workaround. The workaround checks for "_Float128" name when reading the base typedef from the die_info. If the workaround is detected, the type and format fields from the _Float128 typedef are copied to the long double typedef. The same is done for the complex long double typedef. This patch fixes 74 regression test failures in gdb.base/whatis-ptype-typedefs.exp on PowerPC with IEEE float 128 as the default on GCC. It fixes one regression test failure in gdb.base/complex-parts.exp. The patch has been tested on Power 10 where GCC defaults to IEEE Float 128-bit and on Power 10 where GCC defaults to the IBM 128-bit float. The patch as also been tested on X86-64 with no new regression failures.
