Use native byte-swapping for de/serialization

Tests for and enables native byte-swapping instructions for de/serialization routines. These normally reduce to 1 machine op instead of a series of bit-shifts and bitwise ops as currently done.  For big-endian machines these reduce to no-ops.  Optimization works for GGC-like systems with endian.h header.  Also do some minor cleanup in other serialization code.

Changes
serialize.h:
	use machine native byte swapping if available, fall-back to previous generic method if not
	commented out unused de/serialization functions for signed bytes (S8)
	write/readARGB8() - just write 32-bit color in one op, instead of 4 1-byte ops
	cleanup: removed unnecessary buffer inits for some serialize-out functions
	use a #define for the fixed point factor in read/writeF1000()

staticobject.cpp:
	cleanup: use util/serialize.h inlines instead of its own de/serialization

nodemetadata.cpp, nodetimer.cpp
	minor optimzation/cleanup: slightly simpler deserialize node position method

serialize.cpp:
	minor optimization/cleanup: avoid generation of unneeded string temporary

CMakeLists.txt, cmake_config.h.in: added detection of endian.h
I suggest not commenting these out because someone might wonder where the functions have gone if he/she tries to use them.
