Code patch for Platform.h

The proposed patch adds !PLATFORM(SYMBIAN) tpo prevent it from entering the conditional code block that defines WTF_PLATFORM_MIDDLE_ENDIAN=1.

Code patch for Platform.h

Why?  PLATFORM(SYMBIAN) seems the wrong level of define to be using here.

Update of patch file for bug #27059

I updated the patch according to the review comment.

Instead of adding a !SYMBIAN condition to the already hard to decipher 
negative conditional clause within the ARM block,
I added the proper __ARM_EABI__ flag to the SYMBIAN case.

In addition, I cleaned up the condition of the else branch in the ARM block
(removed redundant condition check).

Seems unfortunate to define something that begins with two underscores, since that's supposed to be reserved for the environment, not the library.

2nd update of patch file for bug #27059

I agree with Darin'd comment of trying to avoid redefining variables with beginning double underscores in the library code.

How about this updated patch:
Since on Symbian, we detect the __EABI__ variable but not __ARM_EABI__, I simply added that flag to the respective (negative) conditional statements.
It's only in 2 places and I assume it is safe for any other platforms that may or may not have this flag set.
