Add (optional) endian parameter to 'get nodeid' to warn on endian conflicts.

ndb/src/mgmapi/mgmapi.cpp:
  Send an extra (optional) parameter to 'get nodeid' to detect potential endianness conflicts.
  
  endian: big
  endian: small
  
  Server will deny our nodeid request if we're not compatible.
  
  If parameter is not specified, we behave how we used to (work or fail).
ndb/src/mgmsrv/Services.cpp:
  Add extra (optional) parameter to 'get nodeid' to detect potential endianness conflicts.
  
  endian: big
  endian: little
  
  we will deny the nodeid request if the endian parameter is provided and the endian doesn't match.
  
  This should preserve compatibility with all clients.
