[PATCH 29/41] site: use unaligned.h's functions, not pointer cast and ntohl

Switch site.c to using unaligned.h's functions for accessing
multi-byte values inside messages.  There were a few places where this
construction was used:
   something = ntohl(*(uint32_t*)(buf->start + offset));
It is much clearer to use this equivalent construction:
   something = get_uint32(buf->start + offset);

Also the packet's message type was extracted from the message using
get_uint32 and then put through ntohl.  This is, of course, wrong.
Currently all the message type codes are palindromes, so it doesn't
matter in practice.  Fix it anyway.
