Have bootconfig size and checksum be little endian 

In case the bootconfig is created on one kind of endian machine, and then
 read on the other kind of endian kernel, the size and checksum will be
 incorrect. Instead, have both the size and checksum always be little
 endian and have the tool and the kernel convert it from little endian to
 or from the host endian.

@ -140,7 +140,9 @@ Since the boot configuration file is loaded with initrd, it will be added
to the end of the initrd (initramfs) image file with padding, size,
checksum and 12-byte magic word as below.
[initrd][bootconfig][padding][size(u32)][checksum(u32)][#BOOTCONFIG\n]

The size and checksum fields are unsigned 32bit little endian value.
When the boot configuration is added to the initrd image, the total
file size is aligned to 4 bytes. To fill the gap, null characters
