hid-core: big-endian fix fix

Adam Kropelin had posted 32-bit fix in June 2005 about two weeks after I
originally had posted my fixes for big endian support.  Adam has a UPS
device which reports LINEV using 32-bits.

Added comments to describe the limitations of the code.

extract() is the same version I posted earlier and tested in user space. 
Made similar changes to implement() routine.  I've written (and will
shortly post) a test for implement().  Code tested on C3600 (parisc) with
USB keyboard/mouse attached.


I've dropped test_implement.c and a few other user space test programs on
http://iou.parisc-linux.org/~grundler/tests/

I would appreciate if someone else would look at the output of
test_implement.c to make it does The Right Thing.
