[PATCH] Add ARM big endian Target (armeb, thumbeb)

  Hi Christian,

  Again, just a round-the-edges review. Just a few comments:

  1) Could you add the ACLE predefine __ARM_BIG_ENDIAN? (set to 1 for big endian, undefined for little endian, see section 6.3 in http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0053b/IHI0053B_arm_c_language_extensions_2013.pdf)
  2) Would like to see tests for the predefine(s) -- __ARMEL__, __ARMEB__, __ARM_BIG_ENDIAN

  Again, how is the testing on the AArch64 side? I think it was specifically your ARM_BE test case that I noticed didn't seem to be there on AArch64.

  Regards,

  Bernie

I wonder if it is a bug that we don't return false for thumb (not asking you to fix it)
