sys/_endian.h: Move powerpc workaround into _endian.h

Description

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.
