RE: db_verify

These messages are irrelevant on Intel and other little-endian platforms as
slapd uses a non-default sort function for the id2entry database on these
systems. (It might have been prettier in this case to use the default sort
function and swap the byte-order of the keys, but that made for a lot of
messy dependencies in the code. back-ldbm actually does this, though, to
preserve locality of reference in the database.)
