util/nvmutil: serious re-factoring (speed boost!)
word/setWord no longer mitigates endianness. instead, all bytes are swapped after reading and before writing the file, and only if the host is big endian this improves performance on little endian hosts, which is most machines, and the code is much simpler, so it's more robust and less likely to break mac address endianness made more clear in code, including with a comment that explains it (the nvm section contains little endian words, *except* the mac address whose words are stored big endian)
