Improve infrastructure for dealing with endianness in VEX. This patch
removes all decisions about endianness from VEX. Instead, it requires
that the LibVEX_* calls pass in information about the guest or host
endianness (depending on context) and in turn it passes that info
through to all the places that need it:
* the front ends (xx_toIR.c)
* the back ends (xx_isel.c)
* the patcher functions (Chain, UnChain, PatchProfInc)
Mostly it is boring and ugly plumbing. As far as types go, there is a
new type "VexEndness" that carries the endianness. This also makes it
possible to stop using Bools to indicate endianness. VexArchInfo has
a new field of type VexEndness. Apart from that, no other changes in
types.
Followups: MIPS front and back ends have not yet been fixed up to use
the passed-in endianness information. Currently they assume that the
endianness of both host and guest is the same as the endianness of the
target for which VEX is being compiled.
