> The `jlink` command allows a `--endian` option to specify the byte order in 
> the generated image. Before this change, when such a image was being 
> launched, the code would assume the byte order in the image to be the native 
> order of the host where the image is being launched. That would result in 
> failure to launch java, as noted in the linked issue.
> 
> The commit in this PR, changes relevant places to not assume native order and 
> instead determine the byte order by reading the magic bytes in the image 
> file's header content.
> 
> A new jtreg test has been added which reproduces the issue and verifies the 
> fix.

Jaikiran Pai has updated the pull request incrementally with six additional 
commits since the last revision:

 - include a test to verify that an explicitly specified --endian value which 
matches the target platform's endianness, creates the image correctly
 - Roger's suggestion - use Architecture.lookupByName() instead of dealing with 
alias name replacements
 - Determine the target platform outside of the ImageHelper and just pass it 
the determined target platform
 - minor formatting change - align parameters
 - Mandy's suggestion - rename (and update comments) 
isJavaBaseFromCurrentPlatform to isJavaBaseFromDefaultModulePath
 - Mandy's suggestion - no need to store endian in JLinkConfiguration
