* objdump.c (endian): New static variable.

	(usage): Mention -EB/-EL/--endian.
	(long_options): Add "endian".
	(disassemble_data): If endianness was specified, replace
	abfd->xvec with a copy of itself with the given endianness.
	(main): Handle -EB/-EL/--endian.
	* binutils.texi, objdump.1: Mention -EB/-EL/--endian.
