cpu_ldst.h, cpu-all.h, bswap.h: Update documentation on ld/st accessors
Add documentation of what the cpu_*_* accessors look like. Correct some minor errors in the existing documentation of the direct _p accessor family. Remove the near-duplicate comment on the _p accessors from cpu-all.h and replace it with a reference to the comment in bswap.h.

- * endian is:
- * (empty): target cpu endianness or 8 bit access
- * r : reversed target cpu endianness (not implemented yet)
- * be : big endian (not implemented yet)

- * user : user mode access using soft MMU
- * kernel : kernel mode access using soft MMU
