Stage #2a attached. This adds definitions for types of 8-bit multiples
from 8 to 64 to stdint.h and rationalizes the selection of types for the
exact-width definitions in InitPreprocessor.cpp.

Only minimal changes have been made to the test cases:
- A 'signed' specifier is added to the type definitions where it was
unspecified before
- int32_t on PIC16 and MSP430 is now defined as 'long int' instead of
'long long' and int64_t on SystemZ is now 'long int' instead of 'long
long int'. These are all changes in types of equal width.

In stage #2b, I plan to parameterize the suffixes used by the
constant-generating macros in stdint.h, and use those macros to define
the limits of the integer types.
