NEWS:
* Switching endianness mid-byte no longer potentially re-reads bytes.
* bit_offset now consistently refers to the number of bits already
read.
* HParsedTokens now have a bit_length field; this is a size_t. This
may be removed for memory reasons.
The bit writer has not yet been updated to match; the result of
switching bit writer endianness in the middle of a byte remains
undefined.
effects throughout, including use of inttypes.h/PRI[ud]64 because printf() is
still stuck in a long world, conversion of %lu to %zu for printing values of
type size_t, and changing/renaming the g_check_cmp* family of functions.
