Revert to again supply the reverse_endianness_in_place template. This has the effect of providing a default reverse_endianness_in_place for user-defined types. Add error checking for UDT's to verify this works as desired. Provide a note in the conversion docs to that effect.

Add "_endianness" to the names of the two customization points. These names must be defined in user namespaces (for ADL to work) and so must be much more explicit than names that are defined in namespace endian.

Rework conversion.hpp: Make the UDT customization point for the value returning conversion functions much more explicit. Provide a separate UDT customization point for the in-place conversion functions, and reverse_in_place() overloads for the built-in arithmetic types. Eliminate the unsafe general-use reverse functions. With explicit customization points these are no longer needed. Complete the renaming of conversion functions started in the prior commit. The reverse and reverse_in_place names are much more meaningful and less likely to be misunderstood. The longer "reverse_in_place" name will hopefully at least slow users down before inappropriate (and possibly unsafe use, such as when trying to recover data after an exception).

Rename the conversion functions to discourage unthinking use of the in-place versions as these are unsafe in that they effectively break the type system by treating the buffer as an undescriminated union. Remove the synonym functions based on names popularized by BSD, OS X, and Linux since these are permitted to be implemented as macros, which would cause endless difficulties if encountered.

Major renaming. Class "endian" becomes class "endian_arithmetic" to mimic the C++ standard's description of such types as "arithmetic types". Rename header accordingly. The convenience typedefs have been changed shorten aligned names, as they are often being, but keeping the unaligned type names relatively short via a simple "_ut" suffix.

Remove "operator value_type() const noexcept" from buffers. Make the buffer ctor explicit. Buffers were requested by people who do not want automatic conversions because they want full control over conversions, and are very concerned about "efficiency".
...
Add "operator value_type() const noexcept" to the endian arithmetic types. These types are used by people who do want fully automatic conversions. The arithmetic types need to be drop-in replacements for the built-in arithmetic types for these users.

Remove "explicit" from Endian type constructors. Rationale: Having to write "cntr.insert(big_int32_t(value))" instead of "cntr.insert(value)" gets old fast when you are writing application code and the use case arises more or less continuously. Additionally, the use of an endian type is an implementation detail that should not leak into the application code that needs to create values of the type. Furthermore, the ambiguities that caused the constructors to be made explicit no longer occur; they were eliminated when BOOST_MINIMAL_INTEGER_COVER_OPERATORS was introduced to removed a dependency on boost/operators.hpp. If an ambiguity does arise, it is easy to clear via a static_cast or a function-style cast.

Rename the endian typedefs. Rationale: Subjective - during three months working on the B-tree library, the *un_t names were a constant source of irritation. Objective - the new scheme, which reverts the *un_t names to having no alignment decoration, provides consistent *_align* decoration for both FP and integer types. Also, the library now provides conversion functions which may reduce use of aligned endian types.
