gdb/fortran: Use floatformats_ia64_quad for fortran 16-byte floats
GDB was changed such that the Fortran's 16-byte float format was
obtained by calling gdbarch_floatformat_for_type instead of just using
gdbarch_long_double_format as it was before.
The problem with this default_floatformat_for_type can return NULL in
some cases, and the code introduced in
34d11c682f didn't consider
this.
This commit introduces several alternative strategies for finding a
suitable 16-byte floating point type. First GDB calls
gdbarch_floatformat_for_type (this was what
34d11c682f added), if this
returns null GDB will use gdbarch_long_double_format if it is the
correct size (this was the format used before
34d11c682f). Finally,
if neither of the above provides a suitable type then GDB will create
a new dummy type.
This final dummy type is unlikely to provide an correct debug
experience as far as examining the 16-byte floats, but it should
prevent GDB crashing.
