#4439: Unify methods to check machine endianness
-------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  Algunenano   |      Owner:  pramsey
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium       |  Milestone:  PostGIS 3.0.0
Component:  postgis      |    Version:  trunk
 Keywords:               |
-------------------------+---------------------------
 We have several methods to check machine endianness, some at compile time
 and some at runtime, e.g:
 * `getMachineEndian()`
 * `is_bigendian()`
 * `WORDS_BIGENDIAN`
 * `SHPOpenLL()` uses `bBigEndian`

 They should be unified if possible.
