powerpc: Drop old workaround for old gcc

Very old versions of gcc defined _BIG_ENDIAN and _LITTLE_ENDIAN. So to
work around that, we undefined them here. However, that causes problems
for programs that do:

(and many other variations on that theme). Since this often is the
result of weirdly nested includes in the ports world that are hard to
unwind, drop this workaround to help more ports build out of the box.
If there's still an issue here (and my testing hasn't shown it), we'll
fix the issue in a brand-new way once I have a reproducer.

This fixes the mesa-devel build, and others

# 720dc6bc 01-Mar-2021 Mitchell Horne <mhorne@FreeBSD.org>

Consolidate machine/endian.h definitions

This change serves two purposes.

First, we take advantage of the compiler provided endian definitions to
eliminate some long-standing duplication between the different versions
of this header. __BYTE_ORDER__ has been defined since GCC 4.6, so there
is no need to rely on platform defaults or e.g. __MIPSEB__ to determine
endianness. A new common sub-header is added, but there should be no
changes to the visibility of these definitions.

Second, this eliminates the hand-rolled __bswapNN() routines, again in
favor of the compiler builtins. This was done already for x86 in
e6ff6154d203. The benefit here is that we no longer have to maintain our
own implementations on each arch, and can instead rely on the compiler
to emit appropriate instructions or libcalls, as available. This should
result in equivalent or better code generation. Notably 32-bit arm will
start using the `rev` instruction for these routines, which is available
on armv6+.

sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

In case we ever support little-endian PowerPC (probably userland only),
avoid hardcoding endianness here.


# 63d094a7 09-Mar-2012 Dimitry Andric <dim@FreeBSD.org>

Add casts to __uint16_t to the __bswap16() macros on all arches which
didn't already have them. This is because the ternary expression will
return int, due to the Usual Arithmetic Conversions. Such casts are not
needed for the 32 and 64 bit variants.

While here, add additional parentheses around the x86 variant, to
protect against unintended consequences.

netchild's mega-patch to isolate compiler dependencies into a central
place.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into
the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can
then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to
refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42.

By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on
IA32 platforms by netchild. Extension to other compilers is supposed
to be possible, of course.

o Change all headers to make use of this. This mainly involves
changing:

typedef _BSD_FOO_T_ foo_t;
#undef _BSD_FOO_T_

# 90ce56c2 27-Feb-2002 Thomas Moestl <tmm@FreeBSD.org>

Add the following functions/macros to support byte order conversions and
device drivers for bus system with other endinesses than the CPU (using
interfaces compatible to NetBSD):

- bwap16() and bswap32(). These have optimized implementations on some
architectures; for those that don't, there exist generic implementations.
- macros to convert from a certain byte order to host byte order and vice
versa, using a naming scheme like le16toh(), htole16().
These are implemented using the bswap functions.
- stream bus space access functions, which do not perform a byte order
conversion (while the normal access functions would if the bus endianess
differs from the CPU endianess).

htons(), htonl(), ntohs() and ntohl() are implemented using the new
functions above for kernel usage. None of the above interfaces is currently
exported to user land.

Make use of the new functions in a few places where local implementations
of the same functionality existed.

complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that
happen to make use of endian-specific defines.
o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with
third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header.
