    sys/_endian.h: Move powerpc workaround into _endian.h
    
    Powerpc compilers often define _BIG_ENDIAN or _LITTLE_ENDIAN depending
    on the byte order of the target. This interfers with the endian.h and
    sys/endian.h APIs which expect those two to be 4321 or 1234.
    Unconditionally undefine these two before we define them to work around
    this issue. By including endian.h, the programmer is saying they want
    this API not the native one. This matches historic practice as well.
    
    Fixes:          e35448a901aa
    Sponsored by:   Netflix
    Noticed by:     powerpc, powerpc64 CI jobs
    
    (cherry picked from commit 6f23df1ae7f6ec3cd06a15c87f0aaaa770b2941b)
