[Bjoern Walk]

And here's the fix for the viriscsitest on big-endian machine like
Daniel suggested.

Subject: [PATCH] util: virrandom: make virRandomBits endian-safe

Make the generation of random bits in virRandomBits independent of the
endianness of the running architecture.

This also solves problems with the mocked random byte generation on
big-endian machines.
