Don't try to fix up the JS and regexp bytecodes by byte-swapping opcodes, it's too error prone and has ever diminishing returns; there simply aren't many big endian targets left.

It may or may not still be possible to run quickjs on big endian targets but that's no longer guaranteed.

Fixes: #1122

@bnoordhuis Will it be easier to have a separate BE-specific version?
Killing support is not a fix to the bug :)
We need quickjs-ng working.
