    cbfstool: Make endian detection functions to work without prior setup.
    
    The 'host_bigendian' variable (and functions rely on it like ntohl/htonl)
    requires system detection by calling static which_endian() first, which may be
    easily forgotten by developers.  It's now changed as a public function in
    common.c and doesn't need initialization anymore.
