when directly accessing a buffer via a pointer to uint8_t cast to a
pointer to uint64_t/uint32_t. This happened only if HAVE_FAST_UNALIGNED
was set, so it was ok, but UBSan nevertheless complained about unaligned
accesses. So simply use AV_RNxx to read the buffer; this also improves
readability.

This affected many FATE-tests (namely 228 of them; e.g. the cbs-h264
tests) and it has also been reported in tickets #8138 and #8485.

Is there a speed impact?

(on x86?)

Great!

are any other architectures affected or is it the same for all major ones?
