fix concatkdf failures on big endian architectures
Several of the elements used to compute the digest in ECDH-ES key
agreement computation are represented in binary form as a 32-bit
integer length followed by that number of octets. the length
field. The 32-bit length integer is represented in big endian
format (the 8 most significant bits are in the first octet.).
The conversion to a 4 byte big endian integer was being computed
in a manner that only worked on little endian architectures. The
function htonl() returns a 32-bit integer whose octet sequence given
the address of the integer is big endian. There is no need for any
further manipulation.
The existing code used bit shifting on a 32-bit value. In C bit
shifting is endian agnostic for multi-octet values, a right shift
moves most significant bits toward least significant bits. The result
of a bit shift of a multi-octet value on either big or little
archictures will always be the same provided you "view" it as the same
data type (e.g. 32-bit integer). But indexing the octets of that
mulit-octet value will be different depending on endianness, hence the
assembled octets differed depending on endianness.
