Add little endian export to Bignum

The function `mbedtls_mpi_write_binary()` writes big endian byte order,
but we need to be able to write little endian in some caseses. (For
example when handling keys corresponding to Montgomery curves.)

Used `echo xx | tac -rs ..` to transform the test data to little endian.
