4644f9bef6 Add -b/-l options to localedef(1) to specify output endianness and use
it appropriately when building share/ctypedef and share/colldef.

This makes the resulting locale data in EL->EB (amd64->powerpc64) cross
build and in the native EB build match.  Revert the changes done to libc
in r308170 as they are no longer needed.

057ca2d437 Add localedef(1), a locale definition generator tool
The localedef tool can read entire (and unmodified) CLDR posix definition
files, and generate all 6 LC categories: LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_TIME,
LC_NUMERIC, LC_MONETARY and LC_MESSAGES.

This tool has a long history with Solaris.  The Nexenta developers
modified it to read CLDR files and created the much richer collation
formats.  The libc collation functions have to be modified to read the
new format (called "BSD-1.0") and to handle the new data structures.

The result will be that locale-sensitive tools and functions will now
properly sort multibyte and unicode strings.
