Bug 196044: devel/icu: unbreak on mips
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196044

Fix

icu detects platform endianess by checking widely used BYTE_ORDER define. On
FreeBSD, it is not defined unless sys/endian.h is included. As icu doesn't
include that header, endianess detection breaks and defaults to little endian,
which breaks at least mips build. The attached patch fixes it. Build checked on
amd64, i386, armv6 and mips - all successfully. This fix should unblock many
packages on mips and possibly other big endian architectures like sparc64.
