usr.sbin/ntp/config.h patch to define WORDS_BIGENDIAN

This was originally reported on the freebsd-mips mailing list, but this is a general problem on any big-endian system
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mips/2015-April/003823.html

The attached patch ensures that usr.sbin/ntp/config.h defines WORDS_BIGENDIAN on the platforms that require it.

Steps to reproduce

- observe current time
root@:~ # date
Sat May  9 18:16:34 UTC 2015

- turn the clock back a few seconds
root@:~ # date 1816 
Sat May  9 18:16:00 UTC 2015
May  9 18:16:00  date: date set by root

- invoke ntpdate
root@:~ # ntpdate -v time.apple.com
 9 May 18:16:08 ntpdate[871]: ntpdate 4.2.8p2-a (1)
 1 Jan 00:00:00 ntpdate[871]: step time server 17.253.22.243 offset 49.928947 sec

- observe the time again (the time is wrong)
root@:~ # date 
Thu Jan  1 00:00:02 UTC 1970
