[rfc] gdb_stdint.h.

[Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@false.org>]

You want uintptr_t?  I got your uintptr_t right here.

This patch creates a header in the build directory named gdb_stdint.h.
It defines all of the things which a stdint.h ought to define.  It uses
the system's stdint.h if there is one, and provides anything missing,
up to and including the whole file.

There is, of course, a huge hairy chunk of m4 and portability knowledge
that you don't see in this patch.  That's because it's already in
config/ and was written for GCC.  I'm OK with that :-)  It means it's
quite well tested at this point.

This would be enough to allow us to start using uint64_t, uintptr_t,
et cetera in the common code of GDB.  Which, in my opinion, would be a
good idea.  They're nice to have around.

Any comments?
