We can switch at run-time between the standard GetCoeffs() critical
function, that uses a fast variant of VP8GetBit().
However, some platforms have slow instructions that make standard
VP8GetBit() slow. GetCoeffs() is the right level of branching to
switch to GetCoeffsAlt() that avoids these slow instructions in some
not-frequent cases.
Next patch will upgrade VP8GetBit() to use clz, after this one
is proved to be neutral speed-wise.

the original change triggered several internal API modifs.
This is to ensure that we're never computing pointer that can
possibly wrap around, or differences between pointers that can
overflow.
no observed speed difference

forces aligned memory reads (via memcpy) in the VP8 bit reader, useful
for platforms that don't support unaligned loads.

this defines WORDS_BIGENDIAN, replacing uses of
__BIG_ENDIAN__/__BYTE_ORDER__ with it
+ fixes lossless BGRA output with big-endian toolchains
that do not define __BIG_ENDIAN__ (codesourcery mips gcc)

moves the following to this header:
- htole*() definitions from bit_writer.c
- __BIG_ENDIAN__ fallback define from bit_reader_inl.h

mostly to balance the use of bswap64, some gcc platforms are already
interpreting the default case the same

* remove LEFT/RIGHT_JUSTIFY distinction. It's all RIGHT_JUSTIFY now.
* simplify VP8GetSigned(), and add some masking branch-less code. Much
faster on ARM (~13% speed-up). 8% on x86-64, 5% on MacBook.
* split critical implementation into separate bit_reader_inl.h file that
is only included where needed (vp8.c / tree.c / bit_reader.c)
* bumped BITS value from 16 to 24 for x86-32b too, since it's a bit faster.
