1.4.4: broken on big endian architectures

In the new header value validation code, due to missing _le32toh() calls for num_buckets and num_entries, it crashes with this on big endian architectures, like s390x, hppa, sparc64:

E   ValueError: Expected 0 <= num_entries <= num_buckets, got 1660944384.
