Requires:: `Endian` must be a standard integral type that is not `bool`.
Returns:: `x`, with the order of its constituent bytes reversed.
Remarks:: The type of `x` meets the `EndianReversible` requirements.
+
NOTE: The Boost.Endian library does not provide overloads for the {cpp} standard
library supplied types.

types that have members such as string data that do not need to be reversed.
Thus both forms are provided.
*Why are exact-length 8, 16, 32, and 64-bit integers supported rather than the
built-in char, short, int, long, long long, etc?*
* The primary use case, portable file or network data, needs these de facto
standard sizes. Using types that vary with the platform would greatly limit
portability for both programs and data.
*Why not use the Linux names (htobe16, htole16, be16toh, le16toh, etc.) ?*
* Those names are non-standard and vary even between POSIX-like operating
