Adding a version of unaligned copy for little-endian platforms that
provides a single abstraction for vectorized unaligned copy. This
replaces the v0 BitStream + unalignedCopy abstractions making a v1
"bit stream" into simply an std::vector and a std::size_t bit_offset.
The abstraction allows the vector's word size to be parameterized which
could provide better optimizations where a given architecture can
perform single operations across multiple bytes instead of hard-coding
all 8-bit operations. The usefulness versus complexity of this
optimization will play out in subsequent pull-requests as we start
utilizing this copy operation in the generated dsdl types.
