[PATCH v2 2/6] bswap.h: Add support for __BYTE_ORDER__

Message-ID: <20250611221444.1567638-3-sebastian@breakpoint.cc>
In-Reply-To: <20250611221444.1567638-1-sebastian@breakpoint.cc>

The __BYTE_ORDER__ define is provided by gcc (since ~v4.6), clang (since ~v3.2) and icc (since ~16.0.3). It is not provided by msvc as of v19.43 / 17.13.6. The __BYTE_ORDER and BYTE_ORDER macros are libc specific and are not available on all supported platforms such as mingw.

Add support for the __BYTE_ORDER__ macro as a fallback.
