AVRO-1928: Simplify Python float/double encoding (#528)

Switch to using built-in little endian support in the struct
module, instead of explicit bit manipulation.

>             Project: Apache Avro
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: python
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3
>            Reporter: Shalabh Chaturvedi
>            Priority: Minor

> The encoding and decoding of double and float types in Python uses unnecessary bit operations and packing/unpacking. Python's {{struct}} module supports little-endian encoding and could be used directly, instead of using the big-endian and then bit-fiddling to reverse the endianness.
> This could have a big impact of encoding/decoding speed of large buffers.
