Correct objtool orc generation endianness problems to enable fully
functional x86 cross-compiles on big endian hardware.
Introduce bswap_if_needed() macro, which does a byte swap if target
endianness doesn't match the host, i.e. cross-compilation for little
endian on big endian and vice versa. The macro is used for conversion
of multi-byte values which are read from / about to be written to a
target native endianness ELF file.

Unwind hints are useful to provide objtool with information about stack
states in non-standard functions/code.
While the type of information being provided might be very arch
specific, the mechanism to provide the information can be useful for
other architectures.
Move the relevant unwint hint definitions for all architectures to
see.

The SAVE/RESTORE hints are now unused; remove them.

Normally objtool ensures a function keeps the stack layout invariant.
But there is a useful exception, it is possible to stuff the return
stack in order to 'inject' a 'call':
push $fun
ret
In this case the invariant mentioned above is violated.
Add an objtool HINT to annotate this and allow a function exit with a
modified stack frame.

The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder. Two of them are in the tools subdir.
The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel. So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable. However, we don't need *two* of them.
Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.
