ldconfig: document changed default byte-order

Browse source 
Document that the hints file is created in little-endian byte-order
by default now. The -B option can be used to create a big-endian hints
file. Currently, both formats are accepted by the run-time linker on
all architectures.

Force writing big-endian binary data to the hints file.
The default is to create hints files in the native byte-order of the host.
