The commit reverts the problematic patch "Fix float endianness issue on big endian architecture." (but keeps the good parts of it).
This reverts commit 49af73d.
The test suite is updated to use correct processor-endianess when defining comparison values. Then, the getter functions and setter functions are aligned to be consistent regarding the memory layout.
Documentation about the memory layout in modbus_mapping_t has been added (see #757).
Code has been tested against Modbus poll and with mbpoll using an old version of libmodus (3.1.8) prior to the faulty commit.
