GSOC 2016 Finish Firebird Libreoffice driver integration

There is a medium difficulty task for a c++ programmer in current GSOC 2016

The Firebird driver for LibreOffice was started, and is mostly functional, in a previous GSoC, but it needs finishing and polishing. The main remaining issue is that the firebird data format embedded in the .odb file is endianess-dependent. The idea is to switch to Firebird’s “archive” format that is not.
