fix(pcap): a lone lilendian/bigendian flag is ignored by Header._make_magic - #1159

Conversation
…_magic _make_magic honoured the endian flags only when both were given, so Header(bigendian=True) fell back to byteorder (the host order). Either flag alone now selects the byte order and overrides byteorder; equal flags still raise EndianError. test_header_frame_unit pinned the old behaviour (bigendian=False losing to byteorder='big') and is updated. New regression module: tests/protocols/misc/pcap/test_header_lone_endian_flag_unit.py. Closes #1144

Closes #1144.
Header._make_magichonouredlilendian/bigendianonly as a pair. Now either flag on its own picks the byte order and overridesbyteorder. Equal flags still raiseEndianError. Builds on #1143.Probe on little-endian host,
