netchild's mega-patch to isolate compiler dependencies into a central
place.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into
the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can
then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to
refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42.

By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on
IA32 platforms by netchild. Extension to other compilers is supposed
to be possible, of course.

is alays wrong because __FOO_VISIBLE is always defined (to 0 for
invisibility).

Deprecate machine/limits.h in favor of new sys/limits.h.
Change all in-tree consumers to include <sys/limits.h>

Discussed on: standards@

MB_LEN_MAX is not MD, move it to the MI limits.h.

Create a new header <machine/_stdint.h> for storing MD parts of
<stdint.h>. Previously, parts were defined in <machine/ansi.h> and
<machine/limits.h>. This resulted in two problems:
(1) Defining macros in <machine/ansi.h> gets in the way of that
header only defining types.
(2) Defining C99 limits in <machine/limits.h> adds pollution to
<limits.h>.
