On some systems prior to this change the code
would not build with the following error reported
by gcc:
error: integer constant is too large for 'long' type

Lack of support for these types is not a real issue as endian
conversions on byte-sized types are no-ops. Still, the conversions are
useful as they facilitate writing of generic code. They can also be used
explicitly as a way to document in code an endian-specific binary
format:
uchar *data;
quint8 tag = qFromLittleEndian<quint8>(data++);
quint32 size = qFromLittleEndian<quint32>(data);
This commit also adds a test for functions documented in the QtEndian
header.
