PR29961, plugin-api.h: "Could not detect architecture endianess"

Found when attempting to build binutils on sparc sunos-5.8 where
sys/byteorder.h defines _BIG_ENDIAN but not any of the BYTE_ORDER
variants. This patch adds the extra tests to cope with the old
machine, and tidies the header a little.
If you're wondering why I bother with the tidy, it's because the other
patches in the PR included sys/byteorder.h (again!) and added tests
specific to sunos-5.8 immediately after. No doubt that was following
the same practice as for __GLIBC__. If glibc's endian.h had been
treated the same as other headers included here, we'd probably have
seen better fixes.
PR 29961
plugin-api.h: When handling non-gcc or gcc < 4.6.0 include
necessary header files before testing macros. Make more use
of #elif. Test _LITTLE_ENDIAN and _BIG_ENDIAN in final tests.
