It turns out that the endianness-detection header delivered with the
softfloat library is extremely brittle and gives wrong results when
targeting FreeBSD (long story short, _BIG_ENDIAN is always defined there
and that breaks the #if defined() chain).
Use our own endianness detection header to work around any potential
problem.

std/crypto: use finer-grained error sets in function signatures
Returning the `crypto.Error` error set for all crypto operations
was very convenient to ensure that errors were used consistently,
and to avoid having multiple error names for the same thing.
The flipside is that callers were forced to always handle all
possible errors, even those that could never be returned by a
function.
This PR makes all functions return union sets of the actual errors
they can return.
The error sets themselves are all limited to a single error.
Larger sets are useful for platform-specific APIs, but we don't have
any of these in `std/crypto`, and I couldn't find any meaningful way
to build larger sets.
These are currently incorrect according to the gitattributes(5) and
gitignore(5) man pages. However, it seems github ended up treating them
as we intended due to a bug until recently when that bug was fixed.
In std.meta.cast when casting to an enum type from an integer type, first
do a C-style cast from the source value to the tag type of the enum.
This ensures that we don't get an error due to the source value not being
representable by the enum.
In transCCast() use std.meta.cast instead of directly emitting the cast
operation since the enum's underlying type may not be known at translation
time due to an MSVC bug, see https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/8003Fixes#6011
Taking a detour trough a f64 is dangerous as the softfloat library
doesn't like converting sNaN values.
The error went unnoticed as an exception is raised by the library but
the stage1 compiler doesn't give a damn.
