[svn-r9951] Purpose: Minor bug fix.
Description: The byte order for all 1-byte integer types was fixed as little-endian even on a big-endian machine. This's corrected in h5detect.c. When types are only 1 byte long, a native int is used substitute the type to detect byte order. Some tools like h5dump and h5repack are also corrected in this case. Platforms tested: fuss, copper, sol.(There're some failures from the recent configure change). Misc. update: Information in the RELEASE.txt.
