Cygwin: _endian.h: Add AArch64 implementations for `ntohl` and `ntohs`
Add AArch64-specific implementations of __ntohl() and __ntohs() in
`winsup/cygwin/include/machine/_endian.h`.
For AArch64 targets, use the `REV` and `REV16` instructions to perform
byte swapping, with explicit zero-extension for 16-bit values to ensure
correct register semantics.
