Use system default for long double unless it is overridden.
If the user did not specify a default long double format when configuring
GCC, use the long double default from the host compiler.
I tested this on the following systems. There were no regressions:
* Big endian Linux power8 using --with-cpu=power8
* Little endian Linux power9 using --with-cpu=power9
* Little endian Linux power10 using --with-cpu=power10
* Little endian Fedora rawhide power10 using --with-cpu=power10 that the
default was changed to use IEEE 128-bit. I did not specify
--with-long-double-format=ieee and it correctly defaulted to IEEE.
* I also built a compiler on the above Fedora rawhide system, explicitly
setting the type to IBM, and it did use the IBM format.
Can I check this into the master branch? I also think this should be back
ported to GCC 11. Can I do this also?

* config/rs6000/rs6000.cc (TARGET_IEEEQUAD_DEFAULT): If the
host compiler defaults to IEEE 128-bit long double, make that the
default for this build unless it was overridden via the
--with-long-double-format= configuration option.
