bswap: Add new stn_*_p() and ldn_*_p() memory access functions
There's a common pattern in QEMU where a function needs to perform
a data load or store of an N byte integer in a particular endianness.
At the moment this is handled by doing a switch() on the size and
calling the appropriate ld*_p or st*_p function for each size.
Provide a new family of functions ldn_*_p() and stn_*_p() which
take the size as an argument and do the switch() themselves.
