fix a couple issues in the inttypes.h PRI/SCN macros
most importantly, the format/scan macros for the [u]int_fast16_t and
[u]int_fast32_t types were defined incorrectly assuming these types
would match the native word/pointer size. this is incorrect on any
64-bit system; the "fast" types for 16- and 32-bit integers are simply
int.

another issue which was "only a warning" (despite being UB) is that
the choice of "l" versus "ll" was incorrect for 64-bit types on 64-bit
machines. while it would "work" to always use "long long" for 64-bit
types, we use "long" on 64-bit machines to match what glibc does and
what the ABI documents recommend. the macro definitions were probably
right in very old versions of musl, but became wrong when we aligned
most closely with the 'standard' ABI. checking UINTPTR_MAX is an easy
way to get the system wordsize without pulling in new headers.

finally, the useless __PRIPTR macro to allow the underlying type of
[u]intptr_t to vary has been removed. we are using "long" on all
targets, and thankfully this matches what glibc does, so I do not
envision ever needing to change it. thus, the "l" has just been
incorporated directly in the strings.
