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.
