The NBD spec says the client handle (or cookie) is opaque on the
server, and therefore it really doesn't matter what endianness we use;
to date, the use of memcpy() between u64 and a char[8] has exposed
native endianness when treating the handle as a 64-bit number.
However, since NBD protocol documents that everything else is in
network order, and tools like Wireshark will dump even the contents of
the handle as seen over the network, it's worth using a consistent
ordering regardless of the native endianness.
Plus, using a consistent endianness now allows an upcoming patch to
simplify this to directly use integer assignment instead of memcpy().
