[PATCH 07/16] compat: add endinanness helpers
The POSIX standard doesn't currently define a `nothll`/`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.
