Bug#824449: firefox: FTBFS on sparc64 due to wrong platform definitions

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hi!

With Firefox 60.0 ESR now in experimental, most of the sparc64-related patches
are now part of the upstream source.

The only patches we actually need are the one to fix skia on big-endian targets
(I am currently in the process of upstreaming this one) and one tiny patch
to fix an alignment issue on sparc64.

Attaching both of them. The skia patch will also fix the build on s390x.

For the record, the latter was explicitly rejected.

I know. However, the person who wrote it is a security expert (and a friend of
mine) and I trust him when he says the patch does not change any behavior or
lower the security.
