Add a new get_be64 macro to enable 64 bit endian conversions on memory
that may or may not be aligned.
I needed this to compile and pass the tests with NO_UNALIGNED_LOADS.

This is surprising.  Every other function in the file uses the p[x] syntax.  Just for
consistency, is there a way to stick to that syntax but still make it work correctly?
Is there a typecast that can make it work?
