The PR had some unforseen perf regressions that are not as easy to find.
Revert the PR for now.
This reverts commit 6ae8912a3e7d2c4c775024f58a7ba4b1aedc4073, reversing
changes made to 86d6d2b7389fe1b339402c1798edae8b695fc9ef.
SipHasher128 implements short_write in an endian-independent way, yet
its write_xxx Hasher trait methods undo this endian-independence by byte
swapping the integer inputs on big-endian hardware. StableHasher then
adds endian-independence back by also byte-swapping on big-endian
hardware prior to invoking SipHasher128.
This double swap may have the appearance of being a no-op, but is in
fact by design. In particular, we really do want SipHasher128 to be
platform-dependent, in order to be consistent with the libstd SipHasher.
Try to clarify this intent. Also, add and update a couple of unit tests.
