Define char16_t, char32_t consistently with uint_least16_t, uint_least32_t (bug 17979).
As noted in bug 17979 (and as I noted earlier in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-02/msg00647.html>), uchar.h
has gratuitously complicated code to determine the types for char16_t
and char32_t, and to reject including that header for pre-C11
compilers not defining __CHAR16_TYPE__ and __CHAR32_TYPE__.  Since
those types are always required to match uint_least16_t and
uint_least32_t, which glibc knows how to define without reference to
such predefined macros, it's safe just to define those types the same
as the *least* types are defined in stdint.h, so allowing the header
to work with (for example) GCC 4.3.

This patch implements that.  bits/types.h is made to define
__int_leastN_t and __uint_leastN_t so the logic for those types can
stay in a single place, and stdint.h is made to use those __*_t to
define the public *_t types.  uchar.h is then made to use
__uint_least16_t and __uint_least32_t to define char16_t and char32_t,
so simplifying the logic there.  A new test is added that verifies the
types chosen for char16_t and char32_t do indeed match the types the
compiler uses for u"" and U"" string literals.

Tested for x86_64.  (I have not tested with any of the older compilers
for which this would actually make a difference to whether you can
include uchar.h.)
