We have several cases where we need to read endian-dependent
data regardless of host endianness; rather than open-coding
these call sites, it will be nicer to funnel things through
a macro.
The virendian.h file can be expanded to add writer functions,
and/or 16-bit access patterns, if needed. Also, if we need
to turn things into a function to avoid multiple evaluations
of buf, that can be done later. But for now, a macro worked.
* src/util/virendian.h: New file.
* src/Makefile.am (UTIL_SOURCES): Ship it.
* tests/virendiantest.c: New test.
* tests/Makefile.am (test_programs, virendiantest_SOURCES): Run
the test.
* .gitignore: Ignore built file.
