Subject: [PATCH] heart: Use ntohs instead of manual conversion

Multiplying a signed char by 256 is undefined behavior and caused
problems on some platforms when the length was long enough. We
could cast it to an unsigned int to make it work, but it's best not
to reinvent the wheel.

Fixes OTP-15034
