mc: guid: Fix byte ordering to follow IPMI spec ...

Before this commit the bytes for the GUID 'node' part were displayed in
reverse order as if they were reported by BMC according to SMBIOS
specification, not accordint to IPMI.

The field order in guid_t was also specified according to RFC4122/SMBIOS,
which is the reverse of IPMI specification. It has now been fixed.

The time_low field of GUID was taken directly, without taking in
account the ipmitool host endianness. It is now properly converted
from IPMI little-endian to host byte order. Other GUID fields are
also properly converted now. As of now, ipmitool does not generally work
properly when built for a big-endian target, but that's out of scope
of this commit.

Please note that this commit most probably breaks the output of
`ipmitool mc guid` with most existing BMC implementations, but that's
just an indication of them being broken. A follow-up commit will
re-add support for the broken behavior.

Partially resolves ipmitool/ipmitool#25

Move all files one level up in the file hierarcy, to avoid the useless ipmitool directory.
