PPC and X86: Portable printing of IEEE floats

GNU as and the AIX assembler support floating point literals.
SPARC seems to have support too but I cannot test on SPARC.
Curiously, `doubleToBytes` is also used in the LLVM backend.

To avoid endianness issues when cross-compiling float and double literals
are printed as C-style floating point values. The assembler then takes
care of memory layout and endianness.

This was brought up in #18431 by @hsyl20.
