Commit d60c49c (read-cache.c: allow unaligned mapping of the
index file, 2012-04-03) introduced helpers to access
unaligned data. However, we already have get_be32, which has
a few advantages:
1. It's already written, so we avoid duplication.
2. It's probably faster, since it does the endian
conversion and the alignment fix at the same time.
3. The get_be32 code is well-tested, having been in
block-sha1 for a long time. By contrast, our custom
helpers were probably almost never used, since the user
needed to manually define a macro to enable them.
We have to add a get_be16 implementation to the existing
get_be32, but that is very simple to do.

This _might_ still suffer from the issue fixed in 5f6a112 (block-sha1:
avoid pointer conversion that violates alignment constraints,
2012-07-22), as we are taking the pointer of a uint32 in a struct. But
if that is the case, then the original did, as well. It's not clear to
me if the casting get_be32 does is sufficient, or if a sufficiently
clever compiler might make assumptions based on the original pointer
type.
I'm inclined to leave it for now, as we haven't made anything worse, and
nobody has reported a problem.
