libgfs2: Fix pointer cast byte order issue
lgfs2_field_assign() currently uses pointer casting to achieve generic
integer assignment based on the width of the field, but this is broken
as a uin32_t field can be assigned the value from the high bytes of the
uint64_t value, for instance. To fix this, store the value into a
uint64_t before casting to the narrower types.
