Add <limits.h> integer width macros.
TS 18661-1 defines macros for the width of integer types, intended for use with the fromfp functions to convert from floating-point types to integer types of any width, in any rounding mode and with control over whether "inexact" is raised. Such macros are, of course, more generally useful than just with those functions. Those macros are added to <limits.h> and <stdint.h>. This patch adds the <limits.h> macros to glibc's header, with the <stdint.h> ones intended to be added in a separate patch (which would add to the NEWS entry created by this patch). I've also added these macros to GCC's headers for GCC 7, but definitions in glibc's <limits.h> are still useful for older GCC, for non-GNU compilers and for when it's _GNU_SOURCE rather than __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ that implies the macros should be defined since the GCC header only considers __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ (and for glibc systems, the definitions in GCC's <stdint.h> will only be used with -ffreestanding). Tested for x86_64 and x86. * include/limits.h: Define __GLIBC_INTERNAL_STARTING_HEADER_IMPLEMENTATION and include <bits/libc-header-start.h> instead of including <features.h>. [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (CHAR_WIDTH): New macro. [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (SCHAR_WIDTH): Likewise. [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (UCHAR_WIDTH): Likewise.

[__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (UINT_WIDTH): Likewise. [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (LONG_WIDTH): Likewise. [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (ULONG_WIDTH): Likewise. [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (LLONG_WIDTH): Likewise. [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (ULLONG_WIDTH): Likewise. * manual/lang.texi (Width of Type): Document these macros. * stdlib/tst-width.c: New file. * stdlib/Makefile (tests): Add tst-width.
