sim: Expose the system's byte order as a param

There are cases where a system's byte order isn't well-defined from an
ISA. For example, Arm implementations can be either big or little
endian, sometimes depending on a boot parameter. Decouple the CPU byte
order from the System's default byte order by exposing the System's
byte order as a parameter that defaults to big endian for SPARC and
POWER and little endian for everything else.
