arch: drop support for ARC big-endian

Browse Source 
Alexey Brodkin from Synopsys says in [1]:

  I think indeed, we may remove all the big-endian support for ARC.
  Reasons are since introduction of ARC HS4x processors we no longer
  support big-endian in any new processor IP, and even for older IP
  which used to support big-endian it was rarely used... so basically
  there's no good justification to spend any cycles on big-endian
  support looking forward in this project.  I.e. BE support in uClibc
  could also be removed if it makes any difference.

Therefore, let's removed support for ARC big-endian.
