netdev: work around APs that send igtk in big endian

Browse Source 
It seems some APs send the IGTK key in big endian format (it is a
uin16).  The kernel rightly reports an -EINVAL error when iwd issues a
NEW_KEY with such a value, resulting in the connection being aborted.

Work around this by trying to detect big-endian key indexes and 'fixing'
them up.
