Use a tuklib module for integer handling.

This replaces bswap.h and integer.h.

The tuklib module uses <byteswap.h> on GNU,
<sys/endian.h> on *BSDs and <sys/byteorder.h>
on Solaris, which may contain optimized code
like inline assembly.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   TUKLIB_INTEGER
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Checks for tuklib_integer.h:
+#     - Endianness
+#     - Does operating system provide byte swapping macros
+#     - Does the hardware support fast unaligned access to 16-bit
+#       and 32-bit integers
+#
