these structures can now be defined generically in terms of endianness
and long size. previously, the 32-bit archs all shared a common
definition from the generic bits header, and each 64-bit arch had to
repeat the 64-bit version, with endian conditionals if the arch had
variants of each endianness.
I would prefer getting rid of the preprocessor conditionals for
padding and instead using unnamed bitfield members, like commit
9b2921bea1d5017832e1b45d1fd64220047a9802 did for struct timespec.
however, at present sendmsg, recvmsg, and recvmmsg need access to the
padding members by name to zero them. this could perhaps be cleaned up
in the future.

building on commit 97d35a552ec5b6ddf7923dd2f9a8eb973526acea,
__BYTE_ORDER is now available wherever alltypes.h is included.
endian.h should not be used since, in the future, it will expose
identifiers that are not in the reserved namespace for the headers
which were previously using it.
