moped 1.5 doesn't work correctly on big-endian systems

[bryanpkc]

lib/moped/bson.rb specifies the ways in which BSON fields are packed, but they currently use native endianness, which leads to errors on a big-endian system because the encoding for BSON fields are in little-endian byte order. The following patch fixes the problem.

I can confirm this is an issue on BE systems [1] and the patch appears to fix the issues.
