Rename bswap32/bswap64 to mmdb_bswap32/mmdb_bswap64#420
Conversation
On macOS 26, sys/endian.h defines bswap32 and bswap64 as macros. Since maxminddb.h includes sys/endian.h when available, our static inline function declarations collide with those macros, causing a compilation failure. Rename to mmdb_bswap32/mmdb_bswap64 to avoid the namespace collision entirely. These are internal static functions so the rename is safe.

Code Review
This pull request addresses a compilation failure on macOS by renaming the internal bswap32 and bswap64 functions to mmdb_bswap32 and mmdb_bswap64 respectively. This prevents a name collision with macros defined in sys/endian.h. The changes are applied consistently across the function definitions and their call sites within src/maxminddb.c. The Changes.md file is also updated to document this fix. The changes are correct and effectively resolve the issue.
