All Blake2 params have to be encoded in little-endian byte order. For
the two multi-byte integer params, leaf_length and node_offset, that
means that assigning a native-endian integer to them appears to work on
little-endian platforms, but gives the wrong result on big-endian. The
current libb2 API doesn't make that very clear, and @sneves is working
on new API functions in the GH issue above. In the meantime, we can work
around the problem by explicitly assigning little-endian values to the
parameter block.

(cherry picked from commit dcfb0e3c04)
Replace occurence of nested comments in blake2 reference implementation
with preprocessor directive for disabling unused code.
`blake2s-load-xop.h` is conditionally pulled in only on chips with XOP
support, among others the AMD Bulldozer. The malformed comments in the
source file breaks the build of `hashlib`'s `_blake2` on GCC 6.3.0.
Official reference code on github uses `GH-if` so this change should be
uncontroversial.
