tipc: simplify endianness handling in topology subscriber
Because of the requirement for total distribution transparency, users send subscriptions and receive topology events in their own host format. It is up to the topology server to determine this format and do the correct conversions to and from its own host format when needed. Until now, this has been handled in a rather non-transparent way inside the topology server and subscriber code, leading to unnecessary complexity when creating subscriptions and issuing events. We now improve this situation by adding two new macros, tipc_sub_read() and tipc_evt_write(). Both those functions calculate the need for conversion internally before performing their respective operations. Hence, all handling of such conversions become transparent to the rest of the code.
