Summary: Write little endian unicode tags for better compatibility

Initial Comment:
When adding unciode tags, current LAME implementation writes little or big endian unicode with a correct BOM, according to the machine endian and the endian of passed string. This is absolutely correct.

But unfortunately, some bad-mannered software (including Windows Media Player) rejects tags with big endian unicode even if it has a correct BOM. So, for better compatibility, it is recommended to write little endian strings in any case.
