Stefan Grundmann e673ac3ffb libnv: Fix array unpack endianness logic
When a nvlist(9) is converted into a binary buffer by nvlist_pack(9),
the host endianness is encoded in the nvlist_header of the binary
buffer. The nvlist_unpack(9) function converts a given binary buffer
to an nvlist. In the conversion process the endianness encoded in the
nvlist_header is evaluated and -- should the encoded endianness differ
from the endianess of the decoding host -- endianness conversion is
applied to nvlist_header and nvpair_header elements as well as
to some nvpair values.

In 2015 @oshogbo extended libnv with array support (in 347a39b).
The unpacking code misses the possible need to convert the endianness
of the nvph_nitems element of nvpair_headers.

The patch (re)enables libnv to unpack nvlists regardless of the
endianness of the packing host.
