target/arm: Fix big-endian handling of NEON gdb remote debugging
In the code for allowing the gdbstub to set the value of an AArch64
FP/SIMD register, we weren't accounting for target_big_endian()
being true. This meant that for aarch64_be-linux-user we would
set the two halves of the FP register the wrong way around.
The much more common case of a little-endian guest is not affected;
nor are big-endian hosts.

Correct the handling of this case.
