[krbdev.mit.edu #6565] HP-UX IA64 wrong endian

For krb5-1.7 all IA64 platforms are identified as little endian but
HP-UX is big endian.  It's causing the 1.7 arcfour string to key
function to use the wrong endian and it's resulting in
KRB5KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED errors.  The endian is also incorrect for
1.6.3 but its arcfour string to key function works anyway.  Here's what
I did to fix it for us:
