Support little-endian hexdump input for decode-dimms

[ticket]

Current version of decode-dimms has a command line -x switch to allow the program to interpret hexdump of SPD. Unfortunately, when it recognizes that hexdump has produced two-byte 'words' it assumes that the data is in big-endian format. Since some systems have little-endian format, it would be useful to support both formats. The attached patch accomplishes this by implementing a -X command line switch.

Note that it might be more logical to use a 'little-x' for little-endian vs. 'big-X' for big-endian but this would change the existing interface.
