The changes to make detection of endianness more portable had a bug
that breaks on (at least) Solaris x86.
The bug appears to be a simple copy/paste typo. It checks for
_BIG_ENDIAN and not _LITTLE_ENDIAN for both the case where we would
decide the system is big endian and little endian. Instead, the
second test should be for _LITTLE_ENDIAN and not _BIG_ENDIAN.
Two fixes were possible:
1. Change the negation order of the conditions in the second test.
2. Reverse the order of the conditions in the second test.
Use the second option so that the condition we expect is always a
positive check.

The previous commit swaps the order we check the macros defined by
the compiler and the system headers from the original. Since the
order of check should not matter (i.e. it is insane to define both
__BIG_ENDIAN and friends and BIG_ENDIAN and friends and in a
conflicting way), it is the most conservative thing to do not to
change it.

Commit d60c49c (read-cache.c: allow unaligned mapping of the
index file, 2012-04-03) introduced helpers to access
unaligned data. However, we already have get_be32, which has
a few advantages:
1. It's already written, so we avoid duplication.
2. It's probably faster, since it does the endian
conversion and the alignment fix at the same time.
3. The get_be32 code is well-tested, having been in
block-sha1 for a long time. By contrast, our custom
helpers were probably almost never used, since the user
needed to manually define a macro to enable them.
We have to add a get_be16 implementation to the existing
get_be32, but that is very simple to do.

The BLK_SHA1 code has optimized wrappers for doing endian
conversions on memory that may not be aligned. Let's pull
them out so that we can use them elsewhere, especially the
time-tested list of platforms that prefer each strategy.

The POSIX standard doesn't currently define a `ntohll`/`htonll`
function pair to perform network-to-host and host-to-network
swaps of 64-bit data. These 64-bit swaps are necessary for the on-disk
storage of EWAH bitmaps if they are not in native byte order.

Without this change, gcc -pedantic warns:

An inline function is more readable anyway.

Since commit 0fcabdeb52, compat/bswap.h
redefined htonl and ntohl to bswap32 not only if bswap32 has been
defined earlier in compat/bswap.h (which is done only on selected
platforms), but also if bswap32 has been defined anywhere else. This
broke Git at least for NetBSD systems running on big-endian machines
(where ntohl and htonl should, of course, be NOOPs), since NetBSD
defines a bswap32 macro in the system headers.
So, we now undefine any previously defined bswap32 in compat/bswap.h
before defining our own.

There are some places in git where a long is passed to htonl/ntohl. llvm
doesn't support matching operands of different bitwidths intentionally.
This patch fixes the build with llvm-gcc (and clang) on x86_64.

When compiling with MSVC on x86-compatible, use an intrinsic for byte swapping.
In contrast to the GCC path, we do not prefer inline assembly here as it is not
supported for the x64 platform.

commit 51ea551 ("make sure byte swapping is optimal for git"
2009-08-18) introduced a "sane definition for ntohl()/htonl()"
for use on some GNU C platforms. Unfortunately, for some of
these platforms, this results in the introduction of a problem
which is essentially the reverse of a problem that commit 6e1c234
("Fix some warnings (on cygwin) to allow -Werror" 2008-07-3) was
intended to fix.
In particular, on platforms where the uint32_t type is defined
to be unsigned long, the return type of the new ntohl()/htonl()
is causing gcc to issue printf format warnings, such as:
warning: long unsigned int format, unsigned int arg (arg 3)
(nine such warnings, covering six different files). The earlier
commit (6e1c234) needed to suppress these same warnings, except
that the types were in the opposite direction; namely the format
specifier ("%u") was 'unsigned int' and the argument type (ie the
return type of ntohl()) was 'long unsigned int' (aka uint32_t).
In order to suppress these warnings, the earlier commit used the
(C99) PRIu32 format specifier, since the definition of this macro
is suitable for use with the uint32_t type on that platform.
This worked because the return type of the (original) platform
ntohl()/htonl() functions was uint32_t.
In order to suppress these warnings, we change the return type of
the new byte swapping functions in the compat/bswap.h header file
from 'unsigned int' to uint32_t.

We rely on ntohl() and htonl() to perform byte swapping in many places.
However, some platforms have libraries providing really poor
implementations of those which might cause significant performance
issues, especially with the block-sha1 code.
