mem: Add a helper function to get a word of variable length
There are many devices that need to handle reads/writes of different word sizes. A common pattern is a switch statement that check for the size of a packet and then calls the corresponding Packet::(get|set)<uintXX_t> methods. Simplify this by implementing Packet::(get|set)UintX helper functions. The getter reads a word of the size specified in the packet and the specified endianness. The word is then zero-extended to 64 bits. Conversely, the setter truncates the word down to the size required in the packet and then byte-swaps it to the desired endianness.
