To support Big Endian architectures and align python backend handling of BYTES tensors with other backends, this change removes the explicit little endian flag to serialize and deserialize the length of a BYTES tensor element.
Note: this change alone is not sufficient for Big Endian support but is part of a set of changes also required in the server.
