The semihosting ABI [1] states:
> Multi-byte values in memory must be formatted as pure little-endian or pure
> big-endian to match the endianness mapping configuration of the processor.

This series ensures that semihosting data is properly byte-swapped if
the guest's CPU is currently in a different runtime-configurable
endianness than the host's CPU. This is done by adding cpu_internal_tswap()
functions and then using them in semihosting/uaccess.

Changes in v2:
- Rebase and resolve conflicts.
- Rename virtio_is_big_endian to internal_is_big_endian (fist commit).
- Rename new functios from cpu_tswap to cpu_internal_tswap.
- Document exceptions for using these internal functions (virtio and
  semihosting).
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20260106-semihosting-cpu-tswap-v1-0-646576c25f56@eonerc.rwth-aachen.de
