In 16 bit, we use a single 16 bit unsigned short character for storing 2 byte
constants in machine endian order. This is also true for LINK_SIZE: as for
LINK_SIZE 2, we use a single 16 bit character, as for LINK_SIZE 3 or 4 we use
two. This was a major change, and required changing a lot of hard-coded
constants, but I think it is worth it since it takes less space and runs
faster.

Done.
