[PATCH v2] iotests: Fix nonportable use of od --endian

[PATCH v2] iotests: Fix nonportable use of od --endian

[Eric Blake]

Tests 261 and 272 fail on RHEL 7 with coreutils 8.22, since od
--endian was not added until coreutils 8.23.  Fix this by manually
constructing the final value one byte at a time.

Fixes: fc8ba423

In v2: s/i/byte/, add Max's R-b
