In theory, compilers should be able to work this out themselves so we
can use a simpler version based on the swab() helpers.
I have verified that this works on all supported compiler versions
(gcc-4.9 and up, clang-10 and up). Looking at the object code produced by
gcc-11, I found that the impact is mostly a change in inlining decisions
that lead to slightly larger code.
In other cases, this version produces explicit byte swaps in place of
separate byte access, or comparing against pre-swapped constants.
While the source code is clearly simpler, I have not seen an indication
of the new version actually producing better code on Arm, so maybe
we want to skip this after all. From what I can tell, gcc recognizes
the byteswap pattern in the byteshift.h header and can turn it into
explicit instructions, but it does not turn a __builtin_bswap32() back
into individual bytes when that would result in better output, e.g.
when storing a byte-reversed constant.
