Replace the endianshim.h header with direct platform-specific includes in prepare_pcap.c, using CMake-detected HAVE_* macros. The old shim contained compatibility code for platforms with unknown support status: - HP-UX (_HPUX_SOURCE) - Solaris (USG) - glibc < 2.9 (predates 2008) The le16toh symbol existence checks (HAVE_DECL_LE16TOH) are removed as they were only needed for ancient glibc where endian.h existed but the macro didn't. If the header exists, the macro exists. Supported platforms now use: - Linux: <endian.h> - macOS: <libkern/OSByteOrder.h> - BSD: <sys/endian.h> Also simplify config.h.in by removing @var@ suffixes from boolean cmakedefines where they're unnecessary.
