hw/9pfs: Use little-endian format for xattr values

With security_model=mapped-xattr, we encode the uid,gid and other file
attributes as extended attributes of the file. We save them under
user.virtfs.* namespace.

Use little-endian encoding for on-disk values. This enables us to export
the same directory from both little-endian and big-endian hosts.

NOTE: This will break big-endian host that have virtFS exports
using security model mapped-xattr. They will have to use external tools
to convert the xattr to little-endian format.
