[PATCH 21/28] elf: Add endianness markup to ld.so.cache

[Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>]

Use a reserved byte in the new format cache header to indicate whether
the file is in little endian or big endian format.  Eventually, this
information could be used to provide a unified cache for qemu-user
and similiar scenarios.
