 I18N: Cast magic MO marker number to integer.

 In gettext, `0x950412de` is used to signal GNU MO files. In
 `WP_Translation_File_MO` this magic marker is used to detect whether a
 file uses little endian or big endian.

 On 32 bit systems, this number will be interpreted by PHP as a float
 rather than an integer. This change adds extra casting to force an
 integer.

 A similar change was done in the pomo library in the past, see #3780.

 Props tmatsuur, swissspidy.
 Fixes #60678.
