manual: Rewrite the section on widths of integer types.
The manual contradicted itself by saying the number of bits in an integer type needed to be computed, and then listing a number of macros that later standards provided for exactly that. The entire section has been reworked to provide those macros first, while preserving the documentation of CHAR_BIT and the associated examples within that context. * manual/lang.texi (Computing the Width of an Integer Data Type): Rename section to "Width of an Integer Type". Remove inaccurate statement regarding lack of C language facilities for determining width of integer types, and reorder content to improve flow and context of discussion.
