We are using xor_byte for fingerprint computation and need to
also handle bytes of different length. When working on big-endian
platforms (such as the only one left s390x on debian) our assumptions
of alignment of bytes in such strings fail. For consistency - always
do it "little endian" way
I also added "testing" for the expectation of the target value, so easy to discern desired logic for xor'ed value construction.
Closes #101
