Josh Bleecher Snyder 41cd68416c device: simplify copying counter to nonce ...

Since we already have it packed into a uint64
in a known byte order, write it back out again
the same byte order instead of copying byte by byte.

This should also generate more efficient code,
because the compiler can do a single uint64 write,
instead of eight bounds checks and eight byte writes.

Due to a missed optimization, it actually generates a mishmash
of smaller writes: 1 byte, 4 bytes, 2 bytes, 1 byte.
This is https://golang.org/issue/41663.
The code is still better than before, and will get better yet
once that compiler bug gets fixed.
