Add a big_endian field to RISCVCPUConfig and wire it into the CPU
reset path. When cfg.big_endian is set, riscv_cpu_reset_hold()
writes 1 into the MSTATUS MBE/SBE/UBE fields using set_field();
otherwise it writes 0. This makes the reset value deterministic on
both cold and warm reset.

The MBE/SBE/UBE bits are not included in the writable mask of any
mstatus/mstatush/sstatus CSR write path (unchanged by this series),
so the value chosen at reset effectively hardwires them per section
3.1.6.5 of the RISC-V Privileged Specification.

The user-facing property and documentation are added in a later
patch, once the full endianness support is in place.

Also update the disassembler comment to clarify that BFD_ENDIAN_LITTLE
is correct because RISC-V instructions are always little-endian per
the ISA specification.
