Which byte swap functions should be used for the fixed width types that work on all platforms and that preferably are used elsewhere in the code?

I've added the configuration parameter **UniqueIdServerId** which is used to ensure uniqueness across different servers. I've also implemented byte swapping and changed the method of retrieving a thread ID.

@wjcarpenter Thanks, I can see that somebody linked in this PR there as well. I've also posted this diff on bugzilla https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65307
