virtio: optimize virtio_access_is_big_endian() for little-endian targets
When adding cross-endian support, we introduced the TARGET_IS_BIENDIAN macro
and the virtio_access_is_big_endian() helper to have a branchless fast path
in the virtio memory accessors for targets that don't switch endian.
This was considered as a strong requirement at the time.
Now we have added a runtime check for virtio 1.0, which ruins the benefit
of the virtio_access_is_big_endian() helper for always little-endian targets.
With this patch, always little-endian targets stop checking for virtio 1.0,
since the result is little-endian in all cases.
