Subject: [PATCH] _dbus_header_byteswap: change the first byte of the message,
 not just the struct member

This has been wrong approximately forever, for instance see:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2007-March/007357.html

This prevents a local DoS, in which users can disconnect a system service
from the system bus by sending a non-native-endian message to it.
