[RFC]: Fix Ada boostrap failure on S/390 with -mzarch

Hi Eric,

I ran into a similiar problem as PR80117 on S/390 starting with your
patch merging the system*.ads files for some biarch plattforms.
Starting with that change GCC does not bootstrap on S/390 when
configured with --with-mode=zarch.

On S/390 UNITS_PER_WORD is:
8 with -m64
4 with -m31
8 with -m31 -mzarch

This has been chosen to support use of 64 bit registers also in 32 bit
code.  Code compiled with -m31 -mzarch is supposed to adhere to the 32
bit ABI.  In order to make that work it was required to prevent
UNITS_PER_WORD from being used in ABI-relevant contexts.  That's why
Ulrich added the TARGET_UNWIND_WORD_MODE in 2008 (for SPU).

More target hooks were needed for UNITS_PER_WORD uses in libgcc:
TARGET_LIBGCC_CMP_RETURN_MODE, and TARGET_LIBGCC_SHIFT_COUNT_MODE.

The use of the UNITS_PER_WORD in the system.ads files looks like
adding another ABI/API-relevant use to me.

Now I could either fix this by reverting that change for S/390
(similiar to what Andreas Schwab did to fix the BZ) or I could just
use the size of the long data type (as we do in the ABI-relevant parts
of the backend as well).  Which one do you prefer?

Bye,

-Andreas-
